*2024-12-24, version 1.6.0*

Giving a 4 star because I love this game. I loved playing it but I’ve been waiting for a year now for the cashiering to open. I’m tired of playing the same departments over and over again. I’ll start playing it again when the cashier positions open up.

Update: changing to a 3 star. It’s been over 2 years now and still no update. Please update the game!

### 2/5 — Let me verify that it is not good on Mac

*2024-08-25, version 1.6.0*

I viewed a YouTube video featuring this game and decided to try it on my Mac. It wasn't a good experience because it is designed for a touch screen and on a Mac there is no way to move the view around.
