I worked at a pet store that had this policy as nothing that could be broken was cheap (aquariums, animal hides, etc). We had a sign. Initially I thought it was tacky but it generally worked out. People would bring broken crap up all the time to pay for it. I never enforced the policy though, I know that’s probably the group that it should be enforced for, rather than people willing to admit they broke something. But I was just a high school kid at the time. We also discounted it like 20% whatever that’s worth.
