I can imagine this happening if someone is in a book store (which, in the Netherlands, are often office supply stores as well), impulsively picks up a book he or she likes, then sees the price, and complains that it would be cheaper at Amazon and buys it there afterward.

What I can't imagine is this:

"I'd like to buy a new book."

*drive to store*
*find a nice book*
*drive back home*

"Very nice, now I'll buy the e-book / p-book at Amazon."

So that would be the first option I mention Have you ever deliberately done what I described second? I really doubt it.
