It sure does to me. So much so that if it happened to me, I'd be sure to never buy from that site again.

I'm with you.

I was on a web site with several items in the shopping cart. I went to the bathroom on my way into another room of the house to get my phone to make a payment on my credit card so I could make the purchase. When I got to my phone I already had one of those abandoned cart remarketing e-mails from the company.

I went back to my computer and closed the browser tab. No sale, creeps.
