Retail: Ring them up?

hellojewby

I don't see an option to ring up customers on my register. How do I get the monies?? LOL And where is my employee? I hired her but don't see her...

If you click on someone who is ready to checkout, you click on them and it gives you the option to ring them up. However, you ring them up via tablet not the actual cash register.

the tablet we've had forever?

Edit: I figured it out. soo confusing!

Maybe it's just because my sim is new at running a bussiness but I'm starting to miss the registers cause it takes forever.I guess you never realize how much you miss something till it's gone

yeah it takes a long time to ring up one customer. and my employee like, WILL NOT ring people up lol she'll stock and clean but that's it..

There are perks to speed up checking out customers. At first my employee wouldn't ring anyone up, and he still seems to want to take selfies instead of do anything, but he has started to ring people up.

haha that's too funny. The Sims' technologies are evolving with us too. So are there absolutely no registers?

There are registers but they are only used in game to manage the store.

My bakery employee is supposed to be answering customers' questions but he just sits on the sofa chatting up girls all day, so my sim has gotten better at ringing customers up. I do kind of miss cash registers.

The choice would have been nice, as then people could play the way they wanted, I don't know of any shops which use tablets to process sales, I assume it's too high tech for most.

yeah my store ended up just being one big hang out spot. few shoppers, many chatters. deff prefer OFB stores. but these careers are GREAT!

it happens especially if you have an employee with low work ethics

Low work ethics. You just have to continully berate them until the work ethic skill improves.

SimGurus have said it'll take some work to get your employees up to your standards.

In order for my employee to ring people up do I need to provide them with a tablet? Because as of right now they're just standing around, even when I assign them to ring customers up.

You don't need to give them a tablet. You can just click on them to assign them to ring up the customers.
