I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">clientele</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for customers that I've seen before include "They might buy" , "They make purchases" , "Clientele" , "They're always right, it's said" , "They pay for goods and services" .)
