Stores allow people to enter and leave without purchasing anything or declaring intent to purchase. Consumers are doing nothing unethical by entering the store, investigating items they are interested in, and then comparing them to options online. Blaming consumers for comparing the options available to them is ridiculous.

Yes, this is inconvenient for the people who own those stores. No, the consumer isn't doing anything unethical.

Yes, you are doing something unethical, and my claims carry exactly as much weight as yours.

But if people continue to behave the way that you're suggesting is okay, we'll end up with very few brick and mortar options and we'll have to rely entirely on sight-unseen information in our purchasing decisions.
