Eight buyers. Six stock positions. A $12 closing bill. Read each request, handle the actual goods and decide what to promise. A premium sleeve changes the label, never the coffee inside.

Sell the goods.
Own the promise.
Start with $12 cash and $10 of already-owned stock. Each buyer gives you 45 active seconds to read the request, quote a whole-request price, scan the right units and bag them before taking payment. A two-water order needs two actual bottles.
Look at the next two requests before restocking. The supplier charges $1 for water, $2 for budget coffee and $4 for genuine premium coffee. Each purchase needs available cash and one of six stock positions; the supplier allocation is finite.
A better label has a cost.
A premium sleeve costs $0.50 and leaves the actual roast unchanged. Some buyers inspect the stamp; another may keep the receipt and return later. A disputed sale can require a refund or an actual genuine replacement, using your cash or stock.
Resolve scheduled returns before closing. Pay the $12 bill, then compare cash, remaining stock and profit. Unpaid obligations remain visible in the result.

Practice, then try a different day.
Untimed practice removes buyer time pressure. Retry the same day to revisit its requests, or open a different seeded day with a changed order and some different budgets. Each shift has eight buyers.
Every new shift restores the opening cash and stock. In-game mute and volume controls are available.
