stropkeeper 

A retailer who appears to have no customer service skills other than to be as unhelpful and irritable as possible.
Despite the prevalence of imported US style customer service standards, the British stropkeeper remains faithful to his principle that all customers are morons, and opening a shop all those years ago was the worst decision he'd ever made.

"I don't do refunds," said my local stropkeeper. "You can have an exchange or a credit note and if that's not good enough then take it up with the manufacturer. And make your mind up because I'm closing early today."

Storekeeper 

Storekeeper's have the best job at your local power company.
When management people walk thru the storeroom they stack insulators and widgits to appear busy.Sometimes they will carry a paper and pencil and fake like they are counting shit.They can also be seen outside randomly stacking pallets and driving their forklift in complicated figure eight patterns to lose anyone on their tail.
When someone needs material loaded they say-
"I can't , I have to get this inventory done"
"Sorry I've got to get on a conference call"
"Man I've got to take a dump,see ya in 10 minutes!"
Lineman John-"That storekeeper is a lazy ass turd"
Lineman Bill-"Yea really,all he does is walk around with a paper and pencil pretending to do shit"

shopkeeper zoo 

The place where shopkeepers can be observed in their natural habitat late at night. While casual passers by might assume that the shop and its adjoining car park has been secured for the night, "shopkeeper watchers" know that this is the time that they can observe shopkeepers at play.

Within the confines of their secure paddock, they like to expose their bellies to the warm summer evening breeze. Some shopkeepers like to smoke, clear their throats, or scratch their buttocks with a piece of cardboard and/or stare vacantly at those gathered to watch at the shopkeeper zoo.
An example of a shopkeeper zoo is Supersave Market in Cabramatta

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
