Local, privately owned stores do survive off local business. If no one shopped at them, they wouldn't last. Same with big department stores. If no one shopped at them, they wouldn't survive.
Here is what you are doing to them though. Adding traffic through them making them appear busy. Taking sales associates & dressing room time away from actual customers. They have to build more change rooms to handle the demand, and they also have to hire and pay sales associates to handle the demand. All costs money. I'm sure you and everyone like you also puts everything back, exactly how it was so the sales associates don't have to.

Cry me a river! No one is talking about local privately owned stores. They're talking about big chains that gauge customers because they have little to no local competition.
These stores aren't adding biggest dressing rooms because of the influx of window shoppers. That's ridiculous. They don't hire more associates either.
What would happen if no one shopped at these stores at their current prices is that they would lower their prices until they were competitive with online retailers. Then the business would return.
