The saloon-keeper relied on the expectation that most customers would buy more than one drink, and that the practice would build patronage for other times of day. The hardships of the Depression marked the curtailing of the widespread practice for reasons of economy, and it never really returned. This was noted in Carroll John Daly’s 1944 detective story “ Body, Body, Who’s Got the Body?”. The protagonist, hard-boiled investigator Race Williams, meets a woman in New York at a fancy Park Avenue cafe. Grumbling at the high prices and skimpy portions, he says “I...paid the bill for what would have been a free lunch in the good old days”.

Peukert wrote that most ordinary Germans lived in a "grey zone" choosing support, accommodation and nonconformity at various times, never totally supporting the Nazi regime, but willing to accommodate themselves to the regime provided it served their own self-interests. As part of his studies into "everyday life" in Nazi Germany, Peukert very strongly argued that it was not a black-and- white picture with many of those taking part in youthful sub-cultures like the Edelweiss Pirates and the Swing Kids, grumbling at work, and attending illegal jazz dance sessions at very least partially endorsed the regime and accepted the "Hitler myth" of a brilliant, benevolent Führer. Peukert noted those who took part in such manifestations of "oppositionality" like the Swing Kids and the Edelweiss Pirates were challenging the regime, but not in such a way as to threaten its hold on power, which is why Peukert called these activities "oppositionality" rather than resistance. In particular, Peukert wrote the Edelweiss Pirates by settling themselves apart from adults and those not from the Rhineland were in fact weakening the traditional German working class sub- culture.
