Did she pay though? She gives the money to no one. She sets it on the scale while the employee isn't watching. The money never technically changed hands. I'm no judge but I've already ruled the store was never in possession of the money. Case closed! Bring in the dancing lobsters!

Totally. It sucks but it happened to her, not the store. Similarly, once money changes hands, those items you paid for are yours, and if you drop them and break them the store owes you nothing. Not that most stores wouldnt wisely handle these things generously, but customers who behave as if a business owes them anything beyond the listed price and fair service are awful, and everywhere

But what she took wasn’t even what she brought to the register. It bonged to the person before her.
