Wha...? So if I walk into Chapters (Barnes and Noble of the North) from the mall, scan a few barcodes with my phone, order the books from Amazon, and walk out, I've cost the store money? How? It's not like they heated the place and opened the doors just for me, they were going to have to pay their rent and staff whether or not I ever darkened their doorstep.
I plan to do some car shopping this weekend. So I'll probably do a few test drives at random dealerships, waste the time of several salespeople (who could definitely be helping other customers) and then do research on-line to find the best deal (which might be at a completely different dealership). I guess it would be reasonable for someone to think that I'm, ethically, one of the greatest monsters in history.

I seem to recall you saying that morals were all opinions, so it would be reasonable for someone to think it's immoral to browse but not have any intention of buying. But if you're now saying that position is unreasonable, than great, I'm glad you agree with me.
