Hired Help Kinda Useless

[Sophie]

Hired Terrence because it says his speed is "normal" behind the counter. That isn't normal, that is waaaay too slow to be normal. It's ridiculous that I have to pay 1k for processing only to get someone who checks people out super slowly. Please make all of the hired help a bit faster!

Just hire the faster employees.

I can't because you gotta be level 20 and I'm only level 17. The help given at my level is far too slow to keep up with business

Yes i just hired my first employee for checking, they take faaaaaar too long to scan and especially count change. to give 4 pennies it takes him 20 plus seconds and his speed is "normal". During the rushes they are far too slow to keep up with anything. He needs to be at LEAST twice as fast to be even remotely useful.

Same! It's ridiculous!

I'd assume you'd have to work alongside your staff on a separate cash register if the lines get too long. Get comfy multitasking until you've hired 4+ staff tbh, I've stopped having to help out running the store around level 27ish

[Syntax Error]

All the employees move glacial to your own pace. I have the "very fast" stocker and I can easily run rings around him. I have to bump my "fast" cashier off register and switch places with her sometimes because she has a five person line built up while she slowly scan every booster pack on the counter. Both definitely help supplement the store but neither can manage solo. Just as well since I'd be bored if the place was completely self-running aside from ordering restock and cracking packs.

for cashier id suggest ignoring them until u can get the fast/very fast. normal stocker and up is okay though

I have the normal stocker and normal checkout. i just take over on register if things are taking too long.

even the very fast ones will be slow if your not rounding your prices to avoid coins. it adds atleast 3+ extra actions to every transaction.....

Im 23 and I only recently hired a restocker while I run the front. Its pretty nice not needing to worry too much about stocking everything

Well you could look at it as real life... Just cause you hired someone doesn't mean they will do the job well or to your standards :)

This is one of those cases where game mechanics, early release, and reality need to be set to expectations :).

Early Release: They could improve work capabilities that speed impacts. Aka exclude coinage or speed it up across the board.

Mechanics: Something has to make those "speeds" a differentiation and worth upgrading right? They will never be as fast as you think they should be, its a game!


Right now, you do really have to round your prices primarily due to this...

I have found at this part, you typically just need to help first thing in the AM and maybe once in the afternoon, the normal cashier will back up but generally clears it out.

The level 25 very fast guy and a normal guy seems to be able to take care of sales in the 7-10k range without any intervention (level 34 currently).

Yeah think it's about your play style and wants?

I would rather stock and setup the store than play cashier.

Though will say, I think the $50 kid is a no brainier to keep for ever!

Idk I purchased my first slave zachary and as a stocker hes doing fine as long as the shelves aren't destroyed before I open - typically he will keep it full also yeah if you want a cashier however don't invest until later lol.

The nice thing about Terrence is that he stays until all customers leave the store at the end of the day, whereas the fast counter people will leave right at 9. This is handy if you need to open packs or rearrange the store before opening for business the next day
