Interesting, but if all the shops close when everyone gets off work, when do people get a chance to actually visit the shops when they are free before they close?

You usually get about an hour to do your shopping, plus big supermarkets like Esselunga would still be open, you just had to make the trip. I guess there's always a lunch break, a pizza place next to a place I used to live in only opened from 14:00 to 17:00, and there would always be a long line (because they had very good pizza)
