My mode depends on what I'm shopping for and how much time is available, whether I feel like wandering, and whether I know the store at all.
Let's say I need, idk, a 6TB drive from Microcenter but I have like an hour to get it. Combat mode.
By contrast, this morning I felt like looking for some used blu rays at the thrift store and also felt like being a looky-loo.
If it is something we are both shopping for like garden decor, or we are there to browse like for antiques or furniture, then it's fun browsing.
I kind of feel like combat shopping is better solo. Unless the person can walk fast and help me find the thing if I don't have precise Intel on location.
Having another person could be redundant unless you don't know exactly what you want and need to compare and discuss a few candidate items.
