THink the whole ethics debate is a bit skewed.
too take an extreme example of the ethics debate (and doing it OTT) if I need to buy a new car, and I currently feel that a Ford Ka is what I need (and might end up buying it), I'm not allowed (according to my understanding of the arguments made by the ethics side of the debate) to go "shop" around at Opel/Mazda/Fiat, since I would be wasting their time (and a chance of them convincing me otherwise).
I've worked retail, and I was told to see each customer that enter our shop as a potential customer. So if someone enters the shop and ask something about our stock, he's not wasting my time, He's giving me an opportunity of convincing him to buy with us I'm bolding this statement as it seems to be missed by the ethics only side. There is no "contract" with a shop to buy something there once you enter a shop.
