The last mom n pop store I worked in had a half price policy if you broke which cover their cost, that I thought was really fair. Most times the object could be fixed and was given to the customer that now owned it at the bargain price. Of course rather then lose a customer we absorbed the cost if the customer felt it wasn't their fault, but most people were glad to cover our cost.

I've had people eat the fruit before I could weigh it and I always laughed when they realized what they'd done. LOL, Just get me another one to weigh, problem fixed.
