First-shift checklist
Read the full guide Secure the Supermarket beginner guide: check receipts and finish a first shift
The verified loop is scan a customer at the exit, check the receipt for stolen items, catch a shoplifter before escape, earn cash, and use supported upgrades as the job becomes harder. Start with accuracy rather than speed: read the current customer's visible items and receipt, use only the action offered by the live interface, then record the result before processing another customer. Official sources do not publish the exact controls, receipt layout, penalty rules, criminal schedule, class prices, gear statistics, or final-thief trigger, so those details must come from the current session rather than an invented universal route.
