The walls and floors are so ugly here.

I've painted the walls numerous times from cheap to expensive. Same for the floors. Added pictures on the walls, added plants on the floor. I'm in the garment district. How do I make these malcontents happy?

IIRC, you need to spend > $5k on walls. I have a pattern in 225m2 that costs $12k and I get through it every time.

Also note 'interior' applies to staff uniform, JIC you think the message only relates to the walls/floor issue.

fast food and cafe need seats/table for interior i think

music is also interior

make sure you are training your people too.. if you look at the biz menu at the business itself it will tell you where you are lacking. music helps a lot. my wife noticed the customers saying it which is what led me to IKEA knockoff

I missed the mark by a couple hundred. Too bad the expenses aren't cumulative as I have spent over 20K at my several attempts. Now they don't like my associate who is 100% in customer service and has a uniform.

customer satisfaction can be drained based on several factors
1) untrained employees (you have 50%, so if you work a till you lower it)
2) watching your business run/being in the store, this can cause queue issues which makes it go down, to lengthen the queue, press interior design and right click your cash register
3) employee satisfaction not being at 100% results in less quality

in my experience this stat isn't really useful for non-offices

If I do a floor/wall replacement that doesn't reach $5,000 total and then put it back to the original again and the total exceeds $5,000, they seem to be complaining.
If it is a small store and I like the relatively inexpensive wall/floor texture, it is negated one way or the other. Ridiculous!

the total amount of tiles and walls currently placed have to be above 5000

a trashy way to bypass this is to put expensive tiles under things or in the backroom

Not sure where this 5k figure comes from.
But here's my regular layout in early game for stores such as Gift, Florist, Liquor:
2 plants: $240
2 floor lamps: $100
2 carpets: $60
1 wall clock: $60
1 speaker: $80
(8 items because of Ikea trolley.)
Then I paint the front and rear walls with $35 paint.
Cost of paint is around $500 for 75m2 and $1000 for 225m2.

I don't change the side walls nor the floor at all.

Result is 100% interior.
