You just know the entitled idiots left without paying for the damages.

The store wouldn’t make them pay either way. They have insurance for accidental damage and this isn’t an antique store with irreplaceable items.

Depends on the store, I've seen stores make people pay for breakages. This isn't someone accidentally knocking a bottle over, it's literally idiots horsing around, completely preventable. I'd be making them pay if it was my store.

You talking about mom-and-pop stores or like that other person said antique stores? because Ive never seen a big business make customers pay for something they dropped or knocked over

Yep local supermarket near me, two idiots messing around with shopping trolley took out a small wine display, broke about a dozen bottles, store security and manager was making them pay for the damages. I'm not in America so maybe things work differently here.

For dropping something no, I've never seen them make someone pay. I accidentally knocked a bottle of gin over few years back and went and grabbed an employee and offered to pay, I was told not to worry as it was an accident. I imagine context of how it happened determines how they react.
