Added a new interaction to socializing in the bar, before afternoon. This interaction comes with a fun scene.
If you don’t have any working experience with the cafe, taking the bar job first now means you have to go through a small training period. This will last for a few shifts before Jason pulls you into his office to promote you to regular bartender.

Shifted some exisiting scenes in the bar job, so that you can now only see these once you’ve been promoted.

His apartment features a bedroom, a kitchen, and two bathrooms. There’s fun scenes in his apartment.
