I dropped a watermelon once. It was a mess, I was apologizing and feeling terrible when one of the workers doing clean up said, 'It all pays the same'. I had a giggle and offered to pay but they refused. Markets do have spoilage or damage write offs.

A parent is not halachically liable for damage done by a child.
Having said that, it is generally accepted as menschlich behavior to offer to pay.

This. Except I would pay. Not just offer to do so. It's only right and polite.

How do you know she didn't mention it to the cashier?

My daughter has always been very quick - she would've excelled at sleight-of-hand illusions. She once got hold of a certain toy, quicker than I could say boo, and ripped the box. And that's how we have a full set of mitzva kinder I had had no plans of purchasing.

I would tell the store so they can clean it up, apologize and offer to pay.
I once had a bottle of very expensive oil slip through the slats of the shopping cart the store provided. It made a tremendous mess and was dangerous. The store cleaned it up.
When I offered to pay they said normally they do not charge for items broken while shopping, but because the item was sold on a shelf rented out by someone selling specialty products they had to charge me.
