just looking

Window shopping mode

Just looking is a polite deflection offered to salespeople or anyone offering assistance, signaling you want to browse without engagement: Can I help you find something? No thanks, just looking.

It's the standard script for entering a store when you're not ready to commit—or when you want to be left alone.
