Cash Register

Please set the option to turn on/off register. There was 1 nerd who stood there in my shop B for hours(real time) on end while I profusely opened packs! And let me move my trash can...

This is a decent request... from what I can tell, customers when they are "done" shopping will que up on a register if you are close by, not just if you clicked into the job.

I will jump on a open register if I see my worker getting backed up too much... it is a fun game of complete the sale and runaway... hoping another doesn't que up on it.

Work around open packs away from the register... and if you need to ring stuff up... just take over a register from a worker, they will come back when you are done (or they will move to the second register if open.

I suppose I can relocate my registers further apart. Shop A register is still in its original location and I put shop B register right by its door.

customers will not go to a register unless there is someone manning it.

Sure they will. I have people head to my second register all the time while I'm restocking singles or otherwise away.

I suspect that customers pick a register fairly early on. So they'll decide to hit Register 2 while they're shopping and you're there, then you leave while they're still wandering, then they finally finish up and walk to the now-empty register. This also explains why they sometimes queue up weirdly, with Customer A waiting to the side while Customer B comes up from 30' away, then A gets in line behind them. In the game's mind, B picked the register first and was queued, even if they weren't physically near it so A has to wait on them. I could have rung you up while you were waiting on the other guy, Customer A!

Excellent idea/thought... makes more sense than my "if you are in the area" idea.
