Thanks for playing and giving your thoughts. Opening the store is basically what happens in the late game. You hire some people who do the work for you and upgrade how quickly they do it down to 2s per action. This includes giving tapes from the inventory to the customer.
I honestly didn't think people would play more than once to even put in a skip cutscene functionality! The steam demo will save your data though, so at least you'll skip it if you reload your save
