My "Retail Store Challenge" Gameplay!
Hello everyone. I wanted to get back into the swing of writing for my other stories I have out there ( shameless plug for http://legacysims.net ) and so I decided to do a mini story that's not really ...
Forum Discussion
Week 1: Monday

Today is the big grand opening day. The outside of the store looks horrible. The inside looks bland. You would swear Pietro is opening too early. He's broke. Hopefully he can bring in something today that will allow him to make some decency of all this.
I decided that Pietro's work hours will be from 9am to 10pm each day. Luckily for him, I'm the decorator. So he doesn't have to worry about doing all that work. He'll have enough on his plate the way it is.
Pietro gets up at 6am to eat, use the facilities, and go for a morning jog.

Jogging and then showering took too long. Pietro will have to change up his exercise routine tomorrow. He opened his store later than planned. He was suppose to open at 9am and opened almost 20 minutes late. Not good for a grand opening day.
I turned off autonomous on Pietro as I need to make sure he's doing what needs to be done.

First customer arrives around 9:50am. He seems to be a celebrity. A B-Lister to be exact. I can only perform celebrity interactions with him. So I see if Pietro can get a selfie with him before the next customer arrives. The celebrity's name is Dustin Broke. I sure hope he's not actually broke.
Then another celebrity arrives. I'm glad these celebrities are coming out to check the new store, but I need actual customers. This celebrity's name is Brytani Cho. She's a Proper Celebrity. At about 11:30am, another B-Lister celebrity arrives.

Dustin decides he is interested in buying when it's close to 2pm. Thank you, Dustin! He enjoyed that planter (Tiered To Simplicity) that was for sale.
(I forgot to set the mark up to 5% for today. It's automatically set to 25%. Not a cheat. Just forgot. Wednesday is suppose to be a 25% mark up, so I'll have it 5% for that day instead.)
Another celebrity came in around 2:40pm.

Pietro was getting real hungry. His Hunger was in the orange. Since the other celebrities are still hanging out chatting with each other, I bring Pietro's cooler down and have him get some food in his stomach.
After, Pietro went around to the other celebrities asking for selfies. If his first day is going to be a bust, at least he'll have all these selfies of famous or to be famous sims.

Then another celebrity sale when it was almost 7pm. I think Pietro asking for the selfies helped. Well, I hope they did. She liked one of the chairs (The Flowery) for sale.
As one celebrity left, another one showed up.

Another celebrity sale for Pietro. This guy wanted the same chair (The Flowery) as the other celebrity.
I send Pietro to the public restroom. I hope nobody steals anything or wants to buy. His Bladder is in the orange.

A new customer arrives when Pietro is in the restroom. This one isn't a celebrity, but it says she's a Loiterer. So am guessing she won't buy anything. Especially when the store closes in less than an hour. But Pietro greets her anyway. This could be a potential future customer.
Then he goes to restock the chair he had just sold. Hopefully none of the other celebrities wanted one why Pietro was going the bathroom.

But Pietro has to stop as one of the other celebrities was ready to check out.

She buys the outfit on the female mannequin. She loves it so much she's going to wear it now. And she's texting. Maybe we'll get more customers tomorrow wanting to check out the outfits.
https://i.ibb.co/SwsfR3D/030.jpg
The store closes at 10:03. Unfortunately the customers still in the store were not able to buy anything if they wanted. Pietro is tired and ready for bed.
He was able to sell 4 items to celebrities. The only retail option with celebrities was to make the sale option. I read that there are other retail options as well. I didn't get to look on the non celebrity customer. But I read that one could talk about interests, pricings, give suggestions, and others. They help with perks. Perhaps sales as well, I don't know.
Pietro needs to restock before he can go to bed. I'll take care of the rest for him while he is sleeping. After retocking Pietro has made a profit of 371 simoleons.

Sleep well Pietro as I update your store with the simoleons you made.
