An old German friend of mine was a teenager when they did this in Germany in the early thirties.
She was telling me they got paid daily,ridiculous amounts of money and by the time they got to the shops they could'nt even afford to buy a loaf of bread with a days wages.What they could afford in the morning was unaffordable by tea-time.
