Sounds about right lol!

That’s so cool. I totally missed that action back when it was introduced. I took breaks from the game because I got kinda bored with it. There’s a lot of new actions that I seeing now and they’re definitely cute 🥰.

Is it better to hire a specialist or upgrade your machines? I need to hire a sandwich specialist but 2 of my machines need upgrades too. I don’t have enough cash to do it all and still pay my staff. What if you don’t have enough money to pay your staff at the end of a shift? Do they quit?

I think hiring a specialist should come before upgrade. You don’t really need to upgrade your equipment until you unlock new items for that equipment to produce. I was surprised how late in the game some items from the salad bar and pastry counter unlocked. Sorry, I have no idea what happens if you can’t pay your staff.

I also think having the specialists is more important than the upgrade. If you don’t have one the other employees would do the job, but probably it would take longer to serve all customers.

Once I did the upgrade before the shift ended and there weren’t enough Café Credits to pay the staff. They didn’t quit and were ready for the next shift :)

Hahaha 🤣! That’s great that the staff will work for free if we don’t have enough Cafe Credits to pay them. 😅

After reading everyone's opinions here I have to say I feel the Same way. Its tedious and boring. I don't understand the point to it at all and I sure hope this isn't the direction they are taking this game in. I could see it if our Sims could live there or they opened more shops but right now it's a bad creative idea. To bad they don't put that energy into helping players who've lost content because of glitches or listening to what players would like to see in game. Since I'm into decorating and buildings love to see more content for building and yards. Anyway sorry to get off topic

I checked in on my game and there were no customers and the employees were all sitting on the benches out front—even though I built them a break room in the basement—and then I found a lone customer using it! :lol:

More like a mop break - my staff are fanatical about mopping and sweeping everywhere, all the time, especially outside.
