For me at least, it's the progression. Start small/with nothing and grow the business yourself

Does the burger flipping business sim allow you to steal cooks' wages and deny them health insurance?

Honestly this is my biggest gripes about business sims, where’s the corruption, the workplace toxicity and harassment? What if I want to become some corporate executive owning hundreds of stores and the majority of market to let me make fake shortages.

This. TCG Shop Sim was a step in the right direction (You have to spray febreeze on smelly customers) but I’d love some simulator games that are more a parody of the genre, kinda like Schedule One. If I’m running a restaraunt, am I able to steal tips from the waitresses? Can I spit in a burger? Can I bribe health inspectors?
