The premise of this thread is stupid.
It looks at customers as thieves. The reason why you can't stay in business is because you're not competitive, not because potential customers are out to get you.
You can't in all honesty argue that the reason why the bookshops are losing business is because people in drones go inside the shop to waste employees time and than buy online.
Most of the people go so they can browse, see what's new and maybe buy something. They don't have an agenda to break your business.
Maybe it's more of this phenomenon that's to blame:

The Pew Research Center reported last week that nearly a quarter of American adults had not read a single book in the past year. As in, they hadn't cracked a paperback, fired up a Kindle, or even hit play on an audiobook while in the car. The number of non-book-readers has nearly tripled since 1978.
