- Employees should be more responsive now when checking out customers. In addition, we have sped up the checkout times in order to get Sims checked out faster.
This was addressed in Patch 1.24.102

Hello, I've been playing GTW today for several hours and am having a few issues.
1. This is really bugging me... the employees that I hire (even when set to ring up customers) don't ring up customers, I have to have my Sim do it. I haven't had one single customer get rung up by an employee and with only one Sim, customers get mad and leave.
2. The checkout process takes way too long.
3. The restock interaction doesn't work well when you are baking cupcakes, it just buys a cupcake instead of getting the sim to go to the machine and make more.
4. When you go to a store you usually don't stand there and yap to everyone you see. My employees just wanna sit and talk to everyone.
Here's what I mean when I say they won't ring up a customer: I've selected the employee and given him or her the task of ringing up customers (and it should work because if you try to select that option again, it's grayed out.) Now, I have three customers who have blue shopping carts above their heads, and I got notices from each one saying "I'm ready to check out when you get a chance to ring me up!" I've gone to the first one myself, and start ringing them up. I would then expect the employee to ring up one of the other two that are still waiting. But they don't. They either continue cleaning, or chatting with potential customers or just standing there. Meanwhile, the other two customers get tired of waiting because it's taking me so long to ring up the first. Their shopping carts go from blue to red and then vanish entirely and they leave the store. (I understand there are retail perks to make the ringing up process go faster, but those perks have to be earned and it's more frustrating than fun.)
