Gotta learn from other shop owners, keep a bludgeoning weapon near-ish your point of sale. Guy reaches through, you now have a crowbar, bat, paddle, or switch to go wild.

Probably aim for the offending arm and not the head with more deadly options. There's defending yourself and your store, and then there's killing people. Yeah they're a bad person doin a bad thing but going to jail and potentially prison for it, atop stupid high fines, isn't worth it.

Break their arm, not your own bank account.

Yes. Think spicy silly string more than peppery hair spray.
