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 - Saturday

Pietro gets up at 6am with a hurting stomach cause his Hunger is in the orange. So, he gets breakfast in his tummy. Afterwards, he has time to get his exercises in and a shower.

As Pietro was redressing the mannequins with new outfits, we both notice something. The painting on the wall is missing. Did a customer steal it yesterday?
(I do believe a kleptomaniac sim took it. Otherwise it would have to have been a glitch. Either way, I found it very amusing.)
I end up having to spend some of Pietro's simoleons to replace it. Otherwise nothing else has been added to the store for today. I am curious to see what sales will be like as today is 100% mark up per the rules of the challenge. Pietro has 830 simoleons saved up in the store account so far.

And Pietro unlocks the doors and opens the store a little after 9am.

The first round of customers arrive close to 9:30am. Pietro goes over to greet the first one who is a non celebrity.

With 4 customers in the store, the first that is ready to buy is a youngster. He's tried on the boy swimsuit a couple times. Perhaps he likes it. Pietro goes over to sell him what he's interested in buying.
And to Pietro's and my own surprise, he wanted the lounge chair (Tempting Teak Lounge Chair). I hope his parents don't get mad. Unless it's a gift for them. Then it will be a very nice gift.

The first customer that entered the store is ready to be rung up a little after 3:30pm. Why are you helping her so far away, Pietro? You can get a little closer.
She ends up buying the other chair (The Flowery). Aren't you glad I chose that as a selling item, Pietro? You're doing a great job at selling them. Keep it up.

As soon as Pietro restocks the chair, a new customer he hasn't seen this week wants to buy something. He goes over to see what she's interested in.
As Pietro is ringing her up, one of the B-Lister's who has been in the store before and has let Pietro get a selfie with is trying on the male bikini swimwear. And he seems to like it. Hopefully he's one of the next paying customers.

The lady customer buys the female outfit. However, she has a thought bubble with a bed inside. I hope she doesn't think this is pajamas or something. Who wears hats like that to bed?
Pietro is so proud of himself. I'm proud of you too, Pietro. Let's keep the sales going.
Sadly, a frequent angry celebrity has been causing a ruckus which in turn was making other customers in the angry mood. This wasn't good business.

Finally at around 8pm, B-Lister Dustin Broke wanted to buy something. He's been in the store a few times. The other celebrity got him riled up, so let's see if Pietro can calm him down with something he's interested in buying.
Mr. Broke went for the nice chair (The Flowery).

Pietro hasn't had anything to eat since he opened the store and it's about 9pm. Not sure if I could have held out over 12 hours of no food. He goes over to have a quick yogurt snack while the current customers continue to look around and have hissy fits.

10pm rolls around. Time to close the store. Today was pretty much a bust for a 100% mark up. Things will need to change so next Saturday is better. Good work on getting some sales, Pietro. You tried. It's just there were so many angry customers in the store.
https://i.ibb.co/GktTFdR/105.jpg
Pietro heads for bed around midnight. His energy is fine and he could probably stay up and do things. But Pietro will get to spend most of the day tomorrow at the beach.
