impulse buying
Checkout lane temptation
Impulse buying is purchasing something without planning to, typically triggered by seeing the item or a sudden desire rather than deliberate consideration.
Retailers engineer environments to encourage it—candy at checkout, limited-time offers, strategic product placement: I went in for milk and came out with forty dollars of impulse buys.
