shopping?

My comment:

I, like others, am wondering if it's misspelled. Ir de compras= go shopping, so it could be that. Might be ". . . after completing his shift at 11 at night, enjoying going out and shopping." I might have thought of "compas" as in buddies, like one other person said, except if it was that, would he put the DE in front of it? Anyway, compas is used in Peru, short for compañeros, the way "buds" might be used in English.

to go and find the beat

My comment:

compás--rhythm, beat, as in music.
Maybe he was going out dancing? Or maybe he was going to "swing" or to "be in the groove"

buddy, pal, chum, comrade

My comment:

There not an exactly translation for "compas". In many countries is an expresion meaning "friend", "budy",
The expresion "para irse de compas a divertirse" can to be translated as "for go with his buddies to enjoy"

"Compas" es la forma reducida de "compañeros", es el plural de "compa".

Compas en México es una forma reducido de "compadres" o "compañeros" como puso Ralph. Cuando alguien se va de "compas" significa que salen con un grupo de amigos a divertirse.

Puede que se trate de un error y la frase correcta sea "irse de copas"??
