[QUOTE=The1] Were you honest enough to tell them you were using them as a try on center just to order it online? [QUOTE]
Do you think it is dishonest to try something on or look at something in a store and buy it online? I would agree that you need to support local shops but I'm not sure that it's a dishonest practice, unless you would say that going into a store obligates the consumer to purchase any items they see at the first store in which they see them.
There are ups and downs to buying local and buying online. It's up to the consumer.
Do you own a bike shop? You're really going for the throat with sentences that say "almighty dollar" and "dishonest".
