The game GIVES you 1-2 doughnuts each time you level up, but has never required you to PAY doughnuts to continue progressing.

Huh? You mean if the task calls for you to collect from restaurants and stores? You don't have to click the donuts!! You just collect from the stores and restaurants and you earn the cash and XP. Once you've collected from the number of stores/restaurants the task requires, it's completed.When you click on the donuts, it's to speed things up, just like every other thing in the game. I hope this helps. :)

Nope!! Nope!! and Nope!! Every level a task will come up in my task book. One is a cash register and one is a menu. When you click on the task it says collect money from stores or collect money from restaurants. When you click ok it swipes a donut for each. I usually click it and lose the donuts fearing I will not be able to collect any more. Hence calling it extortion!I bet many see it but think they are collecting a donut so they ignore it but you lose a donut.

No, it means you can skip that task by using donuts.

Are you playing a dfferent game then us? Collect from the restaurants/stores/etc. and you don't have to spend donuts. It's the variation of speeding up a task, only if you click it at this stage, you don't get a chance to cancel it. But you don't have to sped donuts to complete the task.
OK screen shots to follow! This is totally separate from speeding up tasks.

If it is, then you seem to be the only one to have encountered it.

I've had to collect from shops and restaurants. If you have a full complement of them, it usually takes about a day's worth of playing -- but no doughnuts....

By all means, post screen shots. Since I'm really curious about this bizarro game you have.

So people who want to complete the task immediately have the chance to do so, at their own expense?

You are absolutely not forced to spend that donut, it's exactly the same as the option to use 12 donuts to speed up a 24 hour task. Hence the "0/10". That means that you have collected from 0 restaurants/shops out of 10. When you tap one, it will say "1/10". And that means that you have collected from 1 restaurant/shop out of 10. Which means there's 9 left for you to tap before you've completed that task.

Kay?
Is there a triple face palm pic! SOB I wasted all those donuts.
