'put up with the closed shop' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'with the closed shop' is the wordplay.
'with' is an insertion indicator.
'the' becomes 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects).
'closed' becomes 'shut' (associated in meaning).
'shop' becomes 'ers' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
't' going within 'shut' is 'shutt'.
'shutt'+'ers'='SHUTTERS'
