Well if someone were showrooming at place A, and then thought, "Place A doesn't pay their workers well. Place B sells this as well, and they pay their workers well, plus are locally owned and I like to support local places. I'll go buy it from place B," would that be an immoral choice? People make shopping choices based on a number of factors, including how convenient it is and whether they can get it right away - which is where showrooming places can get sales, price, how comfortable they are in the shop, and whatever else. Is it wrong for me to look on Amazon but think, "I want to be able to get this immediately and not wait for shipping so I'll go to Best Buy" or "I would rather buy this from a local shop?"

It just seems like the moral argument here is a bit simplistic.
