Home Business, Moving House?
Emma:
The first thing I train any staff to do is the cash register. I find most customers lose stars when they are being kept waiting to pay. I don't mind my restockers/salespeople zooming off to cash up purchases while the cashier is having a break. I never have more than 4 members of staff either.

I think the best thing about BRY is how it will have sims assigned to ring at the register do other stuff when there aren't any customers waiting.

Oh, they still are kind of frustrating, but I learned to minimize that by keeping them trained in only one area. Mainly, I can't have any employee trained in sales + another task, because when I put them on a non-sales task they constantly interrupt to do sales, leaving stuff unstocked.
If you put an employee on a non-sales task, BRY will only send him to perform sales when his primary task cannot be performed. This increases efficiency because if nothing exists to be restocked, you would otherwise have to manually reassign him to make him cease his lollygagging. BRY is practically of vital importance when running a restaurant, as it will reduce your staff needs by up to half, like if you had micromanaged everything, but without the clicking.

I also hate managers as either BRY or the customer selector summons them automatically, and I don't want to pay their inflated salaries. Really, though, I make so much on a day at a level 10 retail that getting that pittance on off days isn't important.
Neither object summons employees automatically, so what you're seeing is EAxis behavior. BRY only summons employees on demand, when you click to summon them. You seem to be attributing a lot of behaviors to BRY that simply don't exist, while failing to understand others. Trust me: BRY is smarter than you are. You are an F. You are stupid. The machine is smarter than you are.
Zazazu:
Ah. Then it's EAxis that's pissing me off. As per usual. Any way to stomp that behaviour? Quote from: J. M. Pescado on 2008 February 22, 06:13:25

This has most definitely not been my experience. I've had two employees who were assigned to restock (manager trainees at different businesses) and had gold sales badges. Both would interrupt their restocking to go do sales interactions, leaving items unstocked. Now, I did have another restocker at the time, but the amount of unstocked goods exceeded what they could have had in queue.

I've seen the same thing, Zaz -- if an employee has a gold sales badge, they'll drop whatever they're doing to sell, even if they're assigned by BRY to restock. I think that even happened once to a cashier, who left the register to sell even though there were customers waiting. Fortunately he had high body points, so he ran back to the register pretty quick.
