So be it. It's not dishonest, it's shopping. They got the potential buyer in the door to be sold to. The buyer's browsing debt is now paid by the act of presenting themself.
The shop is not worse off for the browser than if they never went in in the first place. They are in fact better off be because they now have the chance to sell to them.
If they can't get a sale, it's their problem, and they and the browser must accept the loss if they fail. If the browser regrets the loss of the ability to browse, the next shop in line may benefit from the regret. If not, then c'est la entreprise. Or whatever.
