What if the shopkeeper was actually their Uncle Qrow, and he uses the shop as a cover for being a secret agent or something? Seeing as Ruby was there and was talking to him like a family member. In the end of one episode (can't remember exactly which one off hand) Ozpin recived a message saying "The queen has pawns" which could refer to Cinder and Roman, Roman and the guys he hired being the pawns and cinder being the queen. Or the 'Pawns' could refer to Emrald and Mercury, hinting that Qrow might have sent that message to Ozpin in forewarning that Cinder, Emrald, amd Mercury would be "attending" Beacon. It may seem a little far fetched, but it's possible, right?
