Being fired is inevitable.
Nice littile game! Nice game!
To reiterate the previous commenter's points, some feedback for using the watercooler/bed/fridge, particularly sound, would add a lot to this. Also, minor but failing from neglecting thirst told me I didn't deliver enough coffee, which had me a bit confused before I figured out the watercooler/bed/fridge.
I think some variety could have helped, namely if the customers moved around, and maybe if there were random pickups. Still, good work!
Good job making a game about a bad job!
The game (and gameplay) is pretty self-explanatory, but it could probably use a few icons here and there to help people understand it better and at a first glance. It could probably also use a "Quit" button, so we don't have to kill the process to exit the game. ;)
I was going to write that the music was very dull and repetitive but then I realized that it was the exact same sound that I had playing in my head all day when I worked at a fast food restaurant, so I gave you max points in audio for realism
It would also be nice to have different endings like: "you are dehydrated, remember to drink something yourself next time". It was very confusing for me that I got fired the first two times, until I recognized the shrinking bars on the left corner.
