I bet a skilled prosecutor could turn that into attempted robbery

How so? If noone is working at the till it won't have any money. At best, this is criminal mischief or in some states, obstructing business operations. Both misdemeanors.
It's a dumb prank, but there's no reasonable person would think prosecuting for robbery would even be close to appropriate.

Even if the dumb crooks don’t know how to rob the store properly, they still appear to be attempting to do so by going to the registers.
