This was a fun day and fun test. I love this picture with all the bags on the ground. It SCREAMS bad business or over worked employee.

I did this as a test to see if I could manage a faster restocking and cashier badge for my sims. The sim at the register was responsible for restocking and being the cashier. The bags on the floor collected while she was working at the flower bench. She worked at the bench until her needs dropped, then went to the energizer and back to shop work. I wanted the bags to pile up so she would have something to do between ringing up customers. It didn't take her long to clean up the shop and keep the current customers happy. She was able to juggle sales, cashier and restocking.

If your working for ALL 7 badges on a sim, you may want to give this a try. Have the sim work in a shop by them self. It can be a little crazy juggling it all at first, but after a while you will get the hang of it. I enjoy the challenge of it. Of course, it works best with a perm plat sim so you can easily refresh them when needed.

Special note: A customer will wait at the register for a while before they get mad and walk away. Sometimes you can even wait until there are two at the register before you go over to ring them up. It helps to get the badges faster if you keep your shops small. Avoid "extra" things for the sims to do on your lot. You don't want them hanging around and not buying things. If you have other items (pinball), you may want to add a venue so you can at least earn a little cash and some stars for the sims who are just taking up space. Another option is to have your sim say goodbye to the sim who is no longer shopping or offer to show them an item.

you know, i've found that if i only have stuff to purchase and no entertainment items, the 'extra' sims just hang around and talk to each other. or they start getting in fights and then come complain to me! i use the 'say goodbye' option often on these guys.

tanu... I've seen the other sims hang around and chat or pillow fight. If they are not shopping, then OUT they go. gggg

rjeannie88.... I think the sim got a hit on a lost star. She was either perm plat or it didn't matter that much. Good eye noticing that. gggg
