Would it be possible to make cashiering more attractive to sims with the appropriate badges when there are customers waiting to be rung up?
Cashiers treat cashiering as first priority. So if they're not cashiering as their next task after whatever they are doing now, something is wrong. I will ponder increasing the lookahead on the job, though.

I in fact meant bar tenders not baristas. (I know, I r smrt linguist.) Also, under more detailed scrutiny, I notice that the $16 is actually going to the business owner, not the bar tender - major DNW. On a slightly related note, I dismissed said bar tender for several consecutive days, and then deleted the bar. A few days later I called him back in and attempted to reassign him with the hammer and sickle - the pie menu on the H&S remained unchanged (with no options greyed out) and the business info continued to list the employee as the bar tender. Is this BRY related, or did I break it by deleting the bar?
Unrelated. What did you reassign him to? If there's no bar, the bartender option will no longer appear, even though he retains the job assignment until you give him a new one.

Thanks. All of the sims in question were primarily assigned to sales, but I do recall in the not-too-distant past that sims assigned to sales with register badges would still be pretty prompt about ringing up customers if it needed doing.

First I tried to reassign him as a barista, and then simply to unassign him. Neither worked, so I eventually just dismissed him and hired some other talentless peon.

A sim will always perform its primary task FIRST. So your salespeople will continue to perform sales, and only do secondary jobs when no one can be salesed to. Your mismanagement of personnel is not my fault. :P

Can't reproduce this issue, I was able to reassign bartenders just fine.

True. If you want them to always ring up customers when there is one, you should assign them to cashier, and they will ring, and then run to restock, sell, whatever, and then run back to ring. This works very well for me.

Never worked for me. Cashiers seem chaiined to their stations, sales badges and all. Maybe they need gold ones before they can be allowed to sales people as a cashier? Ah well, I'll just go back to assigning everyone to restock, which seems to work right anyway.
