Shopkeeper zoo

[Sonia]

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.
