I agree with that. We had a local camera shop that would get people coming in, asking questions, testing cameras and lenses, and then buying online elsewhere. That's wrong. They had a big banner outside the store that said "we are not an amazon showroom" - sad that they were treated as such.
If I went in to the local store to ask a question, test a product, etc., then I bought it from that store. The higher price compensated them for their help and hands on opportunity.
But I don't "window shop" as entertainment either. If I'm in a store, it's because I want/need something there. I don't go in "just to look" or "kill time" and such. So places like camping world don't see me because I don't need any RV specific gear and everything else I can find at grocery, department or drug stores at a lower cost and where I have to go to get something else anyway.
