I'm not sure how you are playing your game that this might be happening. I have 3 shops with WA registers in them. I haven't had a problem with them. The first time one of your Sims visits the shop the game will send a random unemployed Sim to man the register. If the Sim comes from a household you play often, they will quit their job at the market when you switch to their household and send them home. The register will remain unmanned until another active Sim visits the Market. The game will then choose a new unemployed Sim to take their place. It might take a while for the new employee to arrive at the market, depending on how far away they live. I've also seen the game man the cash register, without sending an active Sim.
So; do you have any unemployed adult Sims in your hood to take the job? Do you have the cash register placed on a kitchen counter? (I'm not sure if it has to be a counter, but that is what I'm using, and what the game uses) Is there space on both sides of the counter for Sims to stand? I have never seen a ‘homeless townie used as a cashier. I created 4 households of jobless folks specifically so my town would have cashiers. The game gave some of them other jobs but I always have a ready supply of workers to take over when one quits in order to be the boss of one of my other Sims. I haven't tried Twallan's register mod. I try to play my game with as few mods as possible.
I play with story mode turned off, so the homeless sims, I assume, are not generated. I keep all of my neighbourhood sims chosen, and I am afraid if I added homeless sims just to man the registers, I would end up getting attached to them, and wouldn't be able to use them for the registers anymore. I just wish the game would generate sims for the registers the same way they are generated for jobs. By the way, I have not seen the scenario where the cashier shows up whenever sims enter the market, and the registers were working before, until I decided I didn't want my chosen sims to stand there 24 hours a day.

If you do not have any jobless Sims to man the registers, you will have no cashier. Create some non-chosen households. The game is not going to bend over and do what you want it to; just because you think it should. You need to play by the rules.
Try replacing the register in build mode. The general store register only works in vacation destinations, not in your hood. The others all work, but you have to create jobless Sims to man them, and give them homes. The homeless do not man registers.

Well, I got AwesomeMod to work. Hallelujah! Does the lifetimehappiness cheat still work with AwesomeMod? Because for some reason it's telling me that it's an unknown command.
It DOES work, your not enabling the right options. Go to the main index, then in the little box in the upper left corner, where it says search, type in "lifetimehappiness", and magically you'll find your answer.

simmah:
Has anyone been able to have more than 8 sims in a household? For some reason I'm not able to, and I'm wondering if maybe my neighborhood is just buggy somehow. I do have the option enabled via the config file. If I have 8 sims in a house, I'm not able to have a baby or propose to an outside sim. The option to try for baby is available, but they don't get pregant. The option to propose marriage is not available at all. But as soon as someone moves out and there are fewer than 8 sims, they get pregnant or can propose.
