Open a neighborhood kiosk and run it from behind the counter in Mini Shop: Store Simulator. Order stock, fill the shelves, serve customers and keep track of the day's takings, all in first person. Use your in-game phone to order snacks and drinks. When the delivery arrives, carry the boxes inside and put each product on its shelf. Keep an eye on what is selling so you can restock before you run out. Customers bring their own shopping lists. Prepare their orders, pack the bags and take payment at the service window. Accept cash or cards, enter the amount and count out the right change. There is always another job waiting between sales. Set your prices and decide how to spend your earnings. Complete daily goals, unlock products and add more shelf space as your business grows. Check the end-of-day report to see how much you sold and what the day cost you. Give your kiosk a name and choose its paint, awning and exterior details. Make it a familiar stop in the neighborhood, one working day at a time.
