excellent work! this is miles ahead of what i've played the last time, and i was pleasantly surprised seeing how much you added
the intro/tutorial works and i was able to orient myself pretty quickly. the base mechanics (buy/sell/clean) still work well and i encountered no issues there. being able to customize your shop was great, occulted wood chads stay winning.

i added an artifact that made a green circle appear, and was unsure what that was about

the idea of items becoming rarer and more common based on the day is clever, although it seems like what i was selling was not tied to the economy (unless this is a Bibble and Pie economy)

something that might be nice is that for cheap items (customer wanted to sell me a $2 thing), reducing the price should automatically go to lower fractions than a dollar by default, since changing it down to $1 is too low, but i don't want to start changing cents. it's a tricky and a bit spazzy complaint on my part, but what i would have wanted to see is that going down on the dollar amount would bring it down to 1.50 or 1.75 - so price changes should be more tied to the overall price of the item (perhaps a markup/down %) instead of whole dollar/cent amounts. i get that i can just move one unit to the left and edit the cent values, but that's one less move in a setting where speed might matter the more hectic the game gets (what if i have 5 customers waiting in line?)

either way, well done and excellent improvement. eager to see how this develops.

Thanks for giving it a playthrough and your thoughts, I appreciate it. The artifact has a description, though I don't blame you it's easy to miss in that garbage dump of a UI. The idea is that it counters the customer patience drain, but it in return you have to keep on activating it.

What's sold is tied to the economy, it isn't very apparent since I haven't added the ability to view an item's details like what category it's in.

I'm not so sold on allowing a mode of selling with only markup, or being able to cut to a certain % markup automatically. Though I think a decent compromise would be to add button shortcuts to up or lower the cents by 25.
