Fore the record, the actual complaint was about if we go into the store ALREADY having decided to buy online.
My position is, if I have gone into the store then, 1, I apparently haven't DECIDED anything, or I would have just bought it already.
Once I do them the favor of entering the store, they have the opportunity to change my mind, or sell me something else. That's what they want. That's why they put up signs that offer air conditioning, clean bathrooms and free coffee. Because they need to get me in the door. Unless I'm going in to rob them or something, my behavior is perfectly ethical.
In fact, if I decide to buy online and DON'T go into the store, they haven't got a chance.
