"Window shopping," something that's been going on for as long as there's been stores, is theft. Browsing a store's merchandise, when you don't know for sure if you will find something to buy, is thoughtless - unless you actually buy something. Better you stay away from the store altogether if you aren't sure you'll find something to buy. I thank you for your input. All this time, when people browse through my shop without buying anything, I didn't realize I was being "destroyed." I thought it was just that they thought they could get a better deal someplace else, that maybe another time they would want what I have. 50 years in retail, and I learn something new every day. Next time somebody tries that at my place, I'll have to collar them, explain the facts of business, and hold them until they buy something. No doubt they'll appreciate the education and come back again and again. TJ
