So at what point does it become unethical?
If you're undecided, is it OK to go home and think on it for a while? After deciding everything they demonstrated to you was too expensive and deciding to forget it, how much time would have to pass before you could "ethically" buy one of those models online if there was a huge online sale on one of them?
Is it unethical to go into a shop (knowing full well you're not buying
anything there, down the street, or online) and take up a salesperson's time chatting and asking questions about things?
I just don't understand how "unethical" gets attached at the, "and then buys it online" point. It seems so random.
If "intent" is the key, then surely going home and baking a cake after drooling over one in the baker's window is just as "unethical."
