🛒 Express Bookstore

The morning rush is building at Express Bookstore and the queue for books is already snaking back. Tap a shopper to scan their item, watch the bar fill, then tap again the moment it is ready to ring them up and pocket the takings.

Express Bookstore is a free, one-thumb retail time-management game you can play instantly in any browser — no download and no sign-up.

• Keep each shopper's patience bar from emptying — drain it and they leave, costing a heart.
• Ring up several shoppers quickly to build a combo multiplier and bigger totals.
• Reach the day's takings target before losing all three hearts to advance.
