Building it up can take a bit at time, especially with only small talk, but they did change it to where it takes twice the time to build up and even have a cap on how much you can build one up at one time (cap reached shown when it turns grey).
Given, if you have that part turned off when you started it so you don't have that limit, then that sounds like a problematic bug.
those two are set to mostly increase after you make a purchase iirc. They're a long-haul sort of thing, because you need to make the trip way out to the shop, buy from them, compliment the food, and...i think thats about all you can do each day. Its really inefficient. they dont really respond to talk interactions
