this game is great! there are no ads and it is super fun. there are only 2 problems, one being after you get higher levels, the customers get less and less patient and you only have a few seconds before they get mad. also, there is a bug on mine, not sure if this is happening to everybody, but my 'shift' never starts and i can't play it anymore 😭
