Even big stores in malls like to keep the cash in the tills to a minimum, for obvious reasons. Also, if it was at the beginning of the day or just after a shift change the cashier might not have had the ability to make change for you.
That being said, some stores just won't accept high-value currency as a matter of policy. Canadian money is pretty tough to counterfeit accurately, but that doesn't stop people from colour-copying it. Sure, these fakes look really awful to most people, but companies have to protect themselves from the bored 16-year old cashiers they hire to scan your goods.
