The rubbish and where it goes

Rubbish is produced rather than only left over: the game keeps a generator and a manager for it.

Rubbish in Supermarket Simulator is produced, managed and carried: the game keeps a generator and a manager for it, treats the mess as an object, and gives the work of taking it out an action, a bag interaction and a bin of its own.

In play

The rubbish in the shop is not left over from a picture. The game keeps both a generator and a manager for it, which is why litter appears over a trading day and can be tracked rather than being decoration that fades in.

The mess itself is an object. There is a rubbish object and a trash object in the game's own naming, so what is lying about can be picked up, counted and cleared rather than only being painted on the floor.

The rubbish that has been collected has a place to go: the game ships a wheeled bin with a dark lid and a recycling symbol on it, and it also ships the box the shop's waste bags come in.

Taking the rubbish out is work with names of its own. There is a step for going to the rubbish, an interaction for the bag, and an action for putting a bag out that can be switched off, which is how the game can have a helper do it or stop a helper doing it.

The shop's cleaning is split into three jobs and rubbish is one of them, kept apart from dirt and from dust. That is why clearing a spill and taking the bags out can be different errands rather than one sweeping routine.

Some rubbish has a bin made for it. The ice cream stand has a bin of its own rather than feeding the shop's general waste, so the counter has somewhere to put what it does not sell.

The two pictures beside this entry are the game's own: the wheeled bin the rubbish goes in, and the box of waste bags the shop uses.

What this entry does not tell you: how often rubbish appears, how much of it one bag holds, or what it costs to have it taken away. We have not verified those numbers, so we do not print them.
