From the other sentence you gave I believe this is in the past time sentence and not present unreal conditional. (Did you expect "were" instead of "was"?) In this case the "if" is like "when" or "whenever" describing something that happened repeatedly in the past. Sometimes the shopkeeper DID have some articles of inferior quality and he DID tell customers about them.
