I have 2 employees in my shop who i tasked to ring up customers but they never do it. I end up getting tons of sims waiting to pay but they end up being ignored and walking all the time or my sim is rushing about trying to get to them all while my employees are in group conversations or doing nothing. They are both nearly full in skill with customers and focused/not distracted.
Also occasionally, i go back and check and they don't have any task assigned to them (even though i did), so i have to keep reassigning them to the same task over and over again. Both my employees are promoted and fully satisfied.
Is anyone else finding this or am i being to impatient?

But what is their level of expertise? They may not do anything if that is low, or know how? Where multitasking actually hurts this game for this is when they all get in a group talk and forget to do their jobs because everyone is getting them into a group talk. I have to cancel this a lot even on my own Sim.
I'll be glad when they sort out the issue with them getting stuck in group conversations, though, especially when their work ethic and skills are high.
It's not a bug, it's part of the TS4 really because all Sims get into group talks like I said. It actually hurts this part of the game. But it might be better to hire someone (wait for the right one) who has more skills which make them a better employee than someone who has better work ethics and just put them to stocking and cleaning or selling and you do the checking out. And buy the perks so you can check them out faster.
Yes, you don't have to pay family in this game. And they are better at it because you are controlling them. I think it's better to start with a small shop, hire one employee and 'train' them when they are goofing off by berating them than to hire someone with only two bars on that handy skills which are more important imho.

Didn't work for me. After I tried that the only thing they do is they stop talking and just stand around for hours without doing anything.
I honestly cannot see how this will work as resetting them will surely reset their task too
