pelt
Retail trade term for time-wasting browsers
A retail customer who has no intention of making a purchase. They enjoy wasting the time of a commissioned salesperson, thus preventing the salesperson from spending time with an actual customer who intends on making a purchase.
I spent two hours with that guy and he wanted to test drive four different cars. At the end, he tells me he is a week into a five year lease and is only here because his wife is at the mall. What a pelt!
