Retailer's voice is more repulsive (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grocer

'retailer's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'voice is more repulsive' is the wordplay.
'voice' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (I've seen 'voiced' mean this).
'is more repulsive' becomes 'grosser' (I've seen this in another clue).
'grosser' is a homophone of 'GROCER'.

(Other definitions for grocer that I've seen before include "Food supplier" , "Merchant who sells foodstuffs" , "Dealer in foodstuffs and household goods" , "Provision merchant" , "Provisions purveyor" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
