How to unlock the Distracted Merchant achievement in Moonlighter - Definitive Guide
Go to a dungeon, loot 20 items, and then head back to the shop. You'll need to put each item up for sale and then just let customers take them (thieves do not count, the person must get in line and then leave with it).
I got 19/20 on one day, and depending on spaces available and decorations, you may get this in one.
Fun Fact: They'll still tip you if you have the tip jar.
Note: When customers leave they only give you the cash for half of a singular item in any stack amount. So 10 items worth 100 each would come to just 50 gold when a customer leaves
When a customer wants to purchase something, they will bring it to your counter. If you are not there to press and accept the sale, they will only wait so long before leaving, and paying you half price or less for the item - at least they don't just steal it! You can get this quickly by putting a bunch of vines or sticks up for 1 gold and then just ignore the customers, replacing stock as necessary until it unlocks.
To make a visitor abandon your shop, all you have to do is ignore them when they go to check out. They will wait and eventually leave. Be warned though, whatever item they are trying to purchase, they will end up leaving with, so do this with cheap items, like Vines or Roots.
