The T-800 could have easily just walked out with the guns (even if the clerk decided to take a shot at him) but if the clerk were left alive, he could had called the cops and reported that some guy just took stole a sh*tload of guns and ammo.
Since the T-800 is an infiltration unit, it would have made for a big headache to have a bunch of cops chasing after him & endangering his mission before his mission even got started
Why he didn't just quietly crush the cashiers skull, I'm sure I don't know.

Um, because the Terminator had no money to pay for those guns??

Because he clearly wasn't a fan of longtime veteran character actor Dick Miller.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

Because he didn't have a Phased Plasma Rifle in the 40-watt range.

Because he is the Terminator and not the other robot the Buyer!

Kills the shop owner so when he takes the weapons, there's no one who can provide a description for the police.
So many stories, so little time.

The REAL REASON is because that's what the WRITERS or one of them put in the SCRIPT.
