*** CUSTOMER REVIEWS ***

* Reviews can be checked on the store computer.
* Thornuts starts with an Overall Store Rating of 5 Stars.
* Customers begin to arrive after 4 o'clock.

* Each customer comes in the door with 3 Stars.

* Each of the following will subtract a star:
- Turning off the lights.
- Taking the customer's order. (Necessary once per order!)
- Talking to the customer with your hands full.
- Checking the wrong display case for the customer's donut.
- Restocking workstations.
- Clock movement.
- Baking.
- Each messy table.

* Each of the following will add a star:
- Brewing. (Customers love fresh coffee!)
- Taking the correct donut from the correct display case.
- Placing the correct donut on the tray.
- Placing the correct drink on the tray.
- Completing an order with a Holiday Donut.
- Completing an order with a Holiday Drink.

* Ideally, you should take their order at the register (-1), find the right case for their donut(+1), make their drink properly(+1), put everything on a tray(+1), and they are on their way!

* When a customer picks up their order, their review (0-5 depending on their customer experience) is added to the Overall Store Rating, and the sum is divided by two, for the new Overall Store Rating.

* All customer reviews after 8 o'clock count double, for overtime hours.
* This means that any 0 will cut the Overall Store Rating in half! Keep those customers happy!

* Each shift finished with an Overall Store Rating of 5 Stars will reward you with a random Incentive Card, which can be used before the beginning of any shift!

*** PHONE ORDERS ***

* Phone orders now come in once per day, between 1 o'clock and 3 o'clock.
* You will have to make two random kinds of donuts - or two batches of the same random kind!
* You cannot take from the display case!
* Box your donuts at the phone counter!
* The customer will arrive between 9 o'clock and 11 o'clock.

* You must have the boxed donuts on the counter next to the righthand register by the time the customer comes to collect!
- Failing will result in an automatic loss of a star, from the overall store reviews!
- Succeeding will result in an automatic gain of a star, for the overall store reviews!

* This is how you can get back up to five stars, if you get a few bad reviews!

*** SEASONAL PROMOTIONS ***

* Each month, there will be a seven-day Seasonal Promotion, centered on a Holiday.
* At the start of your shift, on each of these days, you will receive a Seasonal Box through the Loading Dock, which is used to stock the Rainbow Counter.
* During each Seasonal Promotion, Thornuts will offer a Holiay Donut and Holiday Drink, which the customers may order. They are made at the Rainbow Counter.

* Each Seasonal Drink and Donut on an order adds an extra Star to the Customer Review - this makes Holidays a little more happy for everybody!
