However, I am highly unlikely to shop in a duty free shop at my arrival airport, where (a) I am usually tired and cranky, and (b) I just want to get out of the airport as quickly as possible.You forgot (c) You need to run to make your connection because your flight arrived 1 1/2 hours late.

On my last trans-Atlantic flight, the plane arrived on time but then we had to wait 45 minutes on the tarmac for them to assign us a gate. Delta. Fortunately I didn't have a close connection.

That too. The problem is that there is nothing I can buy in a duty free shop that I really NEED. So, there is no way I am going to shop in one just to buy something I like at a good price unless the shopping fills up time that I have no better use for.

You forgot (c) You need to run to make your connection because your flight arrived 1 1/2 hours late. And (d) You need to get to baggage claim before some joker steals your luggage (assuming the staff hasn't already gotten anything valuable).
