ORDERING STOCK

Every product in this shop is bought through one screen, and that screen is the only place the game prints a wholesale price. This page is the terminal as we read it: four tabs, two sub-tabs, a stepper, a cart, and a wall of padlocks.

The shop terminal on the Products tab: cards for Flour at $0.35 a unit, Cereal at $1.00, Bread at $0.60 and Potatoes at $0.25, each with a quantity stepper, a line total in green, two cards marked LICENSE NEEDED, and an empty cart on the right.
What this shows the whole ordering surface at once: the four buyable products, the unit price line, the stepper, and the licenses that close the rest of the catalogue. Captured 2026-11-04 Client web build 2026-11-04 Plate 1

The four tabs

The terminal is a full-screen panel laid over the shop, and it runs on tabs:

A red X closes the panel and an orange LEAVE button sits beside the BUY control, so leaving mid-order is a deliberate press rather than a side effect.

What a product card prints

Each buyable card is the same four things:

LineExampleWhat it means
nameFLOURthe product
UNIT PRICE$0.35wholesale cost of one unit
the count beside the box icon12units already in the shop, as we read it
the green figure$4.20quantity × unit price for this line

The stepper is a red minus, the quantity, and a green plus. Ten in the quantity box at $0.60 printed $6.00; twelve at $0.35 printed $4.20; two at $1.00 printed $12.00. The green number is arithmetic, not a discount — it is exactly units times unit price in every card we read.

The unit prices we have

ProductUnit priceLine we saw
POTATOES$0.2512 units → $3.00
FLOUR$0.3512 units → $4.20
BREAD$0.6010 units → $6.00
CEREAL$1.0012 units → $12.00

Those are wholesale numbers and they are not the same as the price on a shelf. A shelf tag we read separately said $0.99 for milk and $2.80 for cans, so the shop buys at one number and sells at another — but we have not matched a single product across both sides yet, so the margin stays unmeasured.

The license wall

Roughly half of the catalogue is printed as a padlock instead of a card: SUPER MAYO, STRAWBERRY JAM, PEANUT BUTTER, APPLE JUICE, CHOCOLATE SYRUP on the products tab, and MEAT STORAGE, FREEZER, BOX STORAGE on the furniture tab. Each carries the same two words — LICENSE NEEDED — and a lock icon over a greyed-out stepper.

On the furniture tab the unlocked cards print prices instead: DRY SINGLE STORAGE $150, DRY DOUBLE STORAGE $300, SELF CHECKOUT $750. Those are the first furniture prices we have, and they are quoted rather than recommended.

What we have not done

We have not pressed BUY, so we cannot say whether stock arrives instantly, whether it lands as a box on the floor, or what a delivery costs on top of the line total. And we have not opened the Licenses tab, so the price of a padlock is unknown. Both are one session away, and both stay open here until then.
