store-aisle preamble

Refers to the preliminary "look-see" stroll dat you make along a store's shelves prior to requesting assistance in locating a certain item of merchandise; this ensures dat you will not feel foolish --- and/or needlessly interrupt a probably-already-overly-busy store-employee --- by asking for help in finding something dat was actually right out in plain view all along, and so you could likely have spied it yourself if you'd simply been looking more carefully/closely.

I always make sure to do a through store-aisle preamble before calling an associate to help me find something I want to buy; it always a relief to see the employee pause and scratch his/her own head while seeking out my desired item (or have said staffperson regretfully tell me that either the store doesn't carry what I'd wanted or it's out of stock), since this means that I don't have to feel foolish or guilty for having "interrupted someone for nothing".

Jewlery store

Some place that’s in the ghetto that you go to after your wife got mad at you, so you have to get her something nice before she call the pigs on you.

I gotta go to the Jewlery store real quick before I see the fuzz show up at my door.

Convenience store

They aint gonna be more then what they are now. They friendly to every "customer" and just onto the next. Thinking they something super like a super market but they just a drive by stop, everyone welcome at.

All you mess around with is convenience stores.
