A phenomenon usually associated with smaller privately owned shops, as opposed to large chain stores.
Shop fear is the condition some people get when trying to leave a small shop without buying anything, the fear you look like a shoplifter. For some this is bad enough that you have to buy something to be able to exit the shop.

I have amassed a large collection of novelty soaps, I think I may need therapy.
