Some folks would avoid going to the cage after getting backed off or particularly sweated on the floor, because it would give another opportunity to get a new photo.
But in regular situations, you've got to get the money out somehow, so going to the cashier is inevitable, and not usually a big deal.
But don't worry, there are still things to worry about:
1) If you cash "high value" chips, it may trigger a call to the pit to verify. The cashier may also relay lower chips you have. You should not have substantially more chips than the pit documented you as leaving with.
2) Amounts over $3k will probably trigger a request for a players card or some other ID. The main purpose being to put you in to an (internal) multiple transaction register, in case later cashouts put you over $10k for the day. You could probably refuse ID, but it might cause a scene. I don't have personal experience with this.
3) Amounts over $10k will trigger a CTR form. This is mandatory, and Treasury gets a copy.
4) Cycling back to the same cashier over and over might look weird.
The toughest for me is a small joint where there's only one cashier cage, and it's right next to the pit, and they call and verify just about everything. Ratholing requires more planning.

I wear a bucket hat and simply hide my eyes from the cameras, thats my plan of action. You definatly have to cash in your chips so theres no avoiding it. It wouldnt be too hard to have a freind do it for you though.
I have never had trouble cashing in chips and have cashed amountsa as high as 4500 in single transactions. And many times with orange chips.
Its a valid concern as i have seen posters in pits with big mugshots taken from inside the cashier cage.
I think the best bet would be to cash out as often as possible and not postpone to avoid amassing large amounts of chips over 10k.
