shopping cart abandonment

"Shopping Cart Abandonment" is the digital equivalent of window shopping, where you embark on a virtual treasure hunt, gleefully tossing everything you desire into your online cart. It's a thrilling fantasy shopping spree, where you play billionaire for a fleeting moment in time, minus the actual spending part. After hours of careful selection, and with your cart brimming with dreams, you abruptly close the tab, leaving your virtual haul behind. It's the art of filling your cart with hope, only to ghost it with the finesse of a master abandoner, making it the ultimate no-cost escapade in the world of e-commerce consumerism.

"In the grand Shopping Cart Abandonment Olympics, Jessica scored a gold medal by expertly loading her cart with luxury goods worth a small fortune, only to abandon it with a click, proving she's a world champion in the high-stakes sport of 'look but don't buy'."

Abandon casualty minimization

I see now that trying to minimize causalities just gives the people at the top more time to stall.

Hym "So, abandon casualty minimization. It was a stupid idea to care more than the people making the decision to let those people die. So yeah. Abandon it completely."

Abandoned Cart

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.

Abandon Shop

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!"

T: "Man, I had about a buck-fifty of yard tools, car supplies, my kids' new underwears, and a nighty for my lady..."
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?"
