Other than lunch, snacks, and convenience store type items, most downtown workers make a beeline for the door and car once quitting time comes.

I worked downtown in 1961 and none of the workers used to talk about going shopping after work [[and that was when Hudsons, Crowleys, and a lot of other stores were still open).
