Why is window shopping a waste of time?

Answer 1

Window shopping may never result in any actual purchase - although it is also possible to window shop, see something you like, and buy it, in which case you did not waste your time (assuming that your purchase is well chosen, and not some junk that you don't really need).

Answer 2
