Should I buy new carbon bike w/ existing paint chip?

I saw a sweet gravel bike at a local shop but it has a paint chip on side of top tube. See here:

The chip was from a staff person accidentally knocking it over inside the shop, and it hit another bike's pedal. Since the damage is not from a crash, and seems mostly cosmetic, is it worth the risk? What are the odds the frame might be damaged?

Normally I wouldn't consider this kind of damage on a new bike, but this year all the bikes in the universe are sold out, so really not much choice if i want something for the summer.
