In short -- When you ascend or start a new run for whatever reason under the Moxie sign, you don't have the beach open, so Mafia does not (cannot) go to pick up what is in the microbrewery for sale in the initial login. When you open it by creating the meatcar and talking to the creepy guild guy, Mafia never picks up what is in there for sale for consumables until you logout and log back into the game.
Is there any way of having it pick things up without having to do that?
