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.

Yeah, you don't have to click that donut. You just have to click on the restaurants that are ready for collection. That is how you complete this task.

So, it is exactly what I said. It allows you to skip the task instead of doing it. Just like all the other games I play.

That's the exact same doughnut image that appears to speed up any task. Did you not recognize that?

There is no clicking needed on that task. You can just ignore the icon, collect normally, and get credit when you have collected enough.

If you do tap it in the list of missions, it tells you how many you have to collect from and how many you have collected so far. In the upper left corner there is a left arrow to close the box.

The other button (do it) is to skip the task and get credit for completing in exchange for doughnuts. That is an option for any task.
I bet I am not the only one to fall for the trap. It leads you to believe you will stop collecting if you dont click it.

Strange. I read the original post earlier and had no idea what the OP was talking about. As I read through the thread a few minutes ago it occurred to me that the last couple of times the "collect money" task had come up it immediately said "goal complete" when I clicked the register to trigger the task. In fact it just happened to me earlier today and sure enough I'm missing a donut.

Look at the bright side -- sure you made yourself look like a bit of a moron on the internet, but at least you can now stop wasting doughnuts.

And since its the net, one knows who you really are (or do we.....).
