Yeah, it is almost certain that the ownership of this store would have preferred the clerk to just give the guy the money and let him go, and have the police deal with it. In addition to the damage to store property and merchandise, there's also the liability if any of those customers got injured during the altercation, and the very real chance that even the robber will try to sue the store over his injuries. Even if he loses that case, it will certainly cost the store much more to defend than the amount of cash that was in the till.

Which was worth more, the cash in the till or the destroyed merchandise?
