As with "Abandon Ship," this refers to bailing/abandoning a shopping cart full of merchandise at Home Depot/Lowes/Walmart/supermarket/anywhere because:
1) the check-out lines are too long,
2) the Cashiers are obviously "dragging their feet" in opposition to Management,
3) One or two Customers are "dragging their feet" as Consumers-Armed-with-Coupons, and, invariably, debate the price on each and every item, and
4) you've loaded up on things that you need/want/desire/but-can't-really-afford-except-outrageous-credit-card-terms...
So you push aside the basket, walk out, drive home, and make dinner with various and weird frozen foods cooked in one pot..."welcome, again, to your college-/first-job days!"

A: "Well, le'me see the nighty, bro'..."
T: "Cain't, bro...I Abandon Shopped when I saw the checkout line and had time to realize that I'd be paying for this basket, at 21% interest, for the next 10 years."
A: "Aw, that's cool, cool and W-I-S-E, bruh! So, you got the $5 you owe me, then, right?"

A digital graveyard for items that were once desired, but ultimately left behind. When online shoppers add items to their virtual carts but fail to complete the checkout process, resulting in a haunting reminder of what could have been. Abandoned carts are the modern-day equivalent of window shopping, but with less physical effort and more emotional baggage.
Abandoned cart syndrome is a common affliction for those who dabble in domain name shopping, with many enthusiasts adding dozens of potential website names to their cart, only to abandon them all when they realize they're not actually going to start a business anytime soon.
