Shelf Employment | Supermarket Simulator - Part 1 (Supermarket Manager Game - Early Access)
Supermarket Simulator is a game that, perhaps unsurprisingly, puts us in charge of our very own supermarket! We buy products, we sell them on, we hire staff, we expand the supermarket, we buy furniture, we even get to a spot of decoration!
Although to be fair our supermarket is not particularly super to begin with, because we only have two shelves and a fairly small range of products.
We begin by ordering in a few basics, like pasta, cooking oil and flour, and we pop them onto the shelves! Then we open up the shop, take a seat at the checkout and wait for the customers to come in and buy stuff.
However because there's only us working in the supermarket we also have to leave the checkout for a while to order new products, pick up the deliveries and restock the shelves, so we have to be quick because we don't want to keep people waiting!
Also we save up enough money to buy a fridge, we get lost a bit whilst exploring the local area and we earn enough cash to expand our product range to include the most important of all products... TEA!
NOTE: This is the Early Access version of the game.

Design your store, optimizing for efficiency and aesthetics. Determine where products are displayed, manage your aisles, and ensure a smooth shopping experience for your customers.
Order stock using an in-game computer. Unpack goods, organize them in your storage room and place them on shelves, fridges, and freezers.
Scan items, take cash and credit card payments, and ensure customers leave satisfied with their shopping and checkout experience.
Navigate the complexities of a real-time market. Buy products when prices dip and determine the best-selling prices to balance customer satisfaction with profit margins.
As you accumulate profits, consider reinvesting. Expand your store's physical space, upgrade interiors, and continually adapt to the evolving demands of the retail world.
In "Supermarket Simulator", every decision matters. Will you rise to the occasion, transforming a modest establishment into a retail powerhouse, all while balancing customer satisfaction, and finances?

It's just going to be a full store of tea, isn't it ;)
Eggs in the US are refrigerated because they are washed which to my understanding, gets rid of some kind of protective layer

Ah, that would make sense.
Simulator + Geek cupboard = this gonna be really really fun series 😂
You can easily put the prices a little bit higher than the 'market price' suggests. The customers won't mind. Not the tea though, still gotta reel the people in😄 I'm really enjoying your videos and your humour! Thanks so much
This is great watching you. I've been subscribed since you had about 1k subs. So happy to see this playthrough. Also love "counting with penge" Powdered sugar is for baking typically.

@TheGeekCupboard yeah I think that is what they call them I'm old atleast compared to the community. 36 years old. I think it was maybe 2016 or 2017. Surviving mars and rimworld were great. Oh yeah and software inc (probably my favorite) I've really enjoyed your playthroughs. And think you have a great head on your shoulders. Good guy. Thank you for the great content.

Rimworld is indeed a Geek Cupboard classic. Perhaps I should bring it back... 🤔
Dave is indeed awesome! Looking forward to watching your take on supermarket ownership
Really liking this so far! But omgosh at the flashbacks of working till (in Canada) and having people come in wanting to buy a small coffee then pay with 100 needing me to break it. Especially when they would do this first thing in the morning. >:/ Really excited to see how you can expand your shop from here though!! :D Keep on Keeping On, Penge, and thank you for doing what you do!
Yay! Glad you're playing this series. Hope you and Dave are having a nice visit.

I don't think he's selling hand-crafted, artisanal cereal made in the Bavarian Forest using ancient techniques. I think it's just...regular cereal.

Our cereal is just cheap mass-produced stuff, probably full of sugar, that's never been near a Bavarian forest I'm afraid.
Great video! Viewer from across the pond here. Not sure why, but eggs always go in the fridge here. I'm NOT a kitchen whiz, but I understand that the powdered sugar (which is also called confectioner's sugar here) is ground up "regular" sugar, which is called granulated sugar here.

Oh, I actually know about the eggs thing! It's got to do with farming practices and how they vary. In the USA, eggs are washed before being sold to rid them of contaminants, but that also destroys the eggs natural barrier on the shell, so they need refrigerated. In Europe (and other places), farmers follow a different vaccination protocol so they don't need to wash the eggs, so they are safe to store at room temperature. As I understand it, switching fully to the European protocol would be a large expense, so the USA hasn't changed. In the USA, people also expect perfection and hyper-cleanliness from store bought goods. In other parts of the world, a dirty egg means you brush it clean or rinse it at home. In the US, it'd raise a hellstorm of Karens complaining about them.

In the UK (at least as far as I am aware) there are three types of white sugar Granulated sugar which you would use to add to cereal or a cup of tea Caster sugar -I have just googled this, it is not so easily available in the US but is called superfine sugar, Caster sugar is a little finer than granulated and is used to make cakes or meringues Icing sugar, which is like flour but... made of sugar. Surprisingly enough, icing sugar is used to make icing to go on cakes. I think our icing sugar is what you would call powdered sugar

Wow ok. I thought its another name for icing sugar (im from NZ so a commonwealth country) so is confectioner’s sugar the same as our castor sugar? Castor is finer than regular white sugar.
Hello lovely cupboard, my name is noob and I'm watching your video!
I wouldn't be interested in this type of games but as usual you make it very enjoyable, so count me in! Many of the products are French, like the sugar and the pasta brand (Panzani in France). Even the tea logo is based on the one for 'Compagnie des Thés', I believe.
This was cool. Looking forward to more episodes.
This is the opposite of Dave's series, where he complains about room temp eggs and tea
Seems like my kind of neighborhood, a grocery store for every apartment block. I'd never need to go farther than the end of the street to shop.
I already can't wait for the next episode
I can 100% confirm that the warehouse at the end of Indiana Jones was full of only tea chests Also, Geek Cupboard Supermarket. Come for the tea, stay for the outfit compliments
That guy definitely was a cereal killer
A good idea is to set all the prices as closest whole or half numbers to the market price. For example: if market price is $3.17 set the price to $3.50 or $3.00 so that you don’t need to calculate change for too long. Great game!

I had seen this commented before. Now now it’s gone on my wishlist lol. Good video … made me laugh hard
Hello' penge just to say light switch behind you next to pc and looking forward to more
Haha! Congratulations on not short-changing, with help from the cash register telling you how much, lol!! 🤣 When I was a very young 16 year old cashier, I had to pack the bags, key in all the prices manually and do the sums to work out the change... 🤣🤣🤣 That's a huge world for one little shop. I wonder what the dev has planned...🤔 Also, when there's a huge pile of boxes, I wonder what happens if you take the box from the bottom... Do they all fall over? Edit: question answered later... 🙂
Hello penge. Always glad to be an early comment! We love you! Thanks.
Get the coffee but charge them A LOT for it. Massive markup. That’ll show them

Penge you need to try the yes your grace snowfall demo. I remember your yes your grace episodes a few years ago, they introduced me to the channel and were so good man. No love lost if you don't want to tho.
Can you imagine a shop closing down because the owner couldn't find it?

@TheGeekCupboard Haha, it's great, but it poofs everywhere and gets the counters sticky. Necessary for buttercream though! Your customers must be making a lot of cake!
did you notice math is minimal the register shows you how much you need to give back after ech change click so you could go evil when they pay with 100$ to just pay back in 1 cent coins also you allways have 25 custumers wonder if you expand the store the number goes up?

I hadn't noticed the 25 customer limit, is it 25 every day? I guess it makes sense, and when you make the store bigger you get more people, seems a tad too rigid mathematically but if that's how it works that's how it works!
American money? And you were doing metric numbers? Oh no! Speaking of "oh no", did you make sure to over-price the black-yuk so to convince Dave (and others) to convert to Tea? (PS. You could take out a loan to buy the fridge, or maybe stock it :))
they say you can find things around the streets, not sure what they are for.
should be called Euro Supermarket Simulator
U can change shop Betty's bargains

its not supermarket simulator its prisonshop simulator you are all walled in by houses looks to me there are only two streets one cirkel and one to cut the circle in half and thats the street your supermarket is on there is no way out so everything must be droped by parachute or helicopter
