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."
