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: Wednesday
I didn't want to spend all of Pietro's hard earned simoleons yet, so I bought one signage and a wall decal to help bring in customers. Then I added another Tom's Flower Wall Box to outside. This leaves 199 simoleons in the retail account.

Pietro gets up at 6am. He does his morning routine of eating breakfast, getting in some exercises, and doing his business before taking a shower and getting ready for another day at work.

Pietro goes around to all the mannequins and changes their outfits. Today's mark up will be 5%. It's suppose to be 25%, but I messed up this past Monday which was suppose to be 5% and was set at the default 25%.
https://i.ibb.co/P1bggLr/051.jpg
At 9am, the store opens. Now that we have signage, hopefully we'll get a good crowd. Pietro and I would like to make more sales. Too bad no children have come in. The little ones outfits are cute. They need to sell.
Pietro plays on his phone while he waits for his first customer to arrive.
https://i.ibb.co/pyM1kn4/052.jpg
Oh my goodness. As customers start to arrive, guess who walks in? A youngster. I hope your parents gave you enough simoleons.
Pietro goes around and customer greets all those who show up. The first customer claims to be a Rising Star. Selfie with her!
https://i.ibb.co/2P3xpz7/053.jpg
The youngster, who goes by Pierce, is trying out the swim trunks. Buy a pair, Pierce.
https://i.ibb.co/k1fkm99/054.jpg
The Rising Star is the first paying customer. It's a little before 12:30pm for the first sale. Not as good as yesterday. She buys the ever popular chair (The Flowery).
https://i.ibb.co/jfv6jq2/055.jpg
But there is no time to waste. As he was gathering her information, Pierce announces he wants to buy something. Hold on little guy. Pietro will be over there in a minute. I promise.
He looks a nervous to tell Pietro what he wants. I think it's those swim trunks. Pietro encourages him and tells him don't be shy. And the swim trunks now belong to Pierce.
https://i.ibb.co/HLyqSWL/056.jpg
And another customer ready to buy? Pietro hasn't had time to restock. But he needs to make this sale.
I wonder if the celebrity next to Pietro can quiet down. No need to shout in Pietro's store. There can be more than one celebrity in his store.
The young lady, named Alice, went with the woman's beach outfit. Nice choice.
Now Pietro needs to try and restock these items. As he does, more celebrities and customers arrive. Pietro greets and gets himself more selfies.
https://i.ibb.co/SX2YPST/057.jpg
Another customer ready to make a purchase. The signage and decal does help. How can Pietro help you ma'am with the blond hair with pink highlights? She wanted the planter (Tiered To Simplicity).
Pietro restocked the planter and then took a quick restroom break. If anyone wants to make a sale, please wait just a moment.
https://i.ibb.co/jwGGzbK/058.jpg
5:00pm rolls around and Pietro continues to talk it up with the non celebrity customers. He's received selfies from all the celebrities. That's the best he can do for now.
https://i.ibb.co/J5qR9LP/059.jpg
Doesn't take long before another customer wants to buy. He's been looking at everything, so not sure what he is interested in. Pietro is happy that he wants to buy something, though. And then the customer Pietro was just talking to wants to buy something too.
Can Pietro get to both?
The celebrity in the pink hair buys the planter (Tiered To Simplicity) that my other guest had just bought.
https://i.ibb.co/4VmFTK4/060.jpg
Pietro rushes to the next customer waiting to pay for an item. He makes it in time to help her. She was a sweet lady to talk to begin with. She was nice enough to wait it out a bit while the celebrity bought his planter.
It's a no shocker sale. The popular chair (The Flowery) of Pietro's store. After restocking the chair and planter, Pietro goes for a quick snack from his cooler behind the register. I'm glad I put it there each day. Leaving the store to eat is not a good idea.
https://i.ibb.co/3CJqYnY/061.jpg
However, eating is cut short when someone announced they were ready to be rung up. Pietro can finish the granola in a bit. But Pietro? Next time leave your food behind the counter. It's look bad sitting in the showroom when you're making a sale.
Oh, look. Mr. Dreamer, the gentleman who wanted to buy something, is back to purchase something else. He bought the popular selling chair yesterday. He buys the other chair (Tempting Teak Lounge Chair) tonight. A good match.
https://i.ibb.co/c1mh0c4/062.jpg
The other celebrity who was yelling at him decided she wants to buy something too. Pietro is coming. Don't yell! You best not want this nice painting cause it's not for sale. She decides on the planter (Tiered To Simplicity) instead. Another good choice.
https://i.ibb.co/brmKsSn/063.jpg
As he restocks the planter, a woman makes note she wants to buy something. Pietro will be with you in just one moment. Please hang tight.
Look at that. Food on the table. Not very professional, Pietro. I have a feeling this customer wants this chair.
https://i.ibb.co/D1Cprcd/064.jpg
And to my surprise I am wrong. Pietro sold her the women's beachwear outfit. That could be a good thing because there's another customer eyeing the chair right now.
Hang in there Pietro. You're really tired, but the it's almost closing time. Less than an hour to go.
https://i.ibb.co/fX6kYCq/065.jpg
And two more youngsters have shown up in Pietro's store. He has some restocking to do, but greets the children before doing so. The boy seems more interested in texting.
https://i.ibb.co/C257cdJ/066.jpg
As 10:05pm rolls around, there are no more paying customers. Time to close the store and clean up. Pietro can finish his granola.
https://i.ibb.co/1LMPnv4/067.jpg
Good night, Pietro. I'll find out if you get to sleep in tomorrow or get up at 6am again.
