I think folks have been confused by the selling options in B&H - thinking it's about "selling," about "retail." We already have GTW retail shops. B&H offers something very different. With the kiosk and whiteboard you can create just about any sort of money making enterprise/venue you can come up with.
It's not about selling.
I've had a very successful hostel - where Sims did nothing except pay by the hour to sleep. Mostly opened after my Sim went to bed, so everyone was sleeping. Perfect for a lazy Sim and their lazy customers. I've had a tea and bath house. Just tea sets and little rooms to bath in. I have a robot - who's been around forever, lots of skills - he has a venue with a couple of game tables and he just endlessly teaches classes or chats. Playing as a customer Sims can get mentored at the robotics station. Building bots goes faster when mentored.
I have a Uni student who has a pottery shop in her garage. She teaches and sells her wares on the weekends.
Plus you can run a gym, a music school, a hackers den, a cat cafe or a horse stable.
Here's a home business. Only offers activities like woodworking, video games and building/using a rocket. It's all hourly - kiosk - plus paid mentoring. When my Sims visit they work on the Restoration Workshop items. Later my owner sells them (well marked up) at his GTW retail shop. Unfortunately unplayed customers aren't able to work on the RW items, but... oh well.
The selling surfaces are a little frustrating, because when playing as a customer they don't restock and like the CL sales objects they're limited by what you can fit on them. But... we do already have GTW "retail." Often broken, but it's there.
Excuse me but why did you post your story? It is not the topic.
And please stop saying this dlc is not about selling. Selling is one of the activities. It works. And the dlc was promoted with this feature. It is just limited. And asked for fixing this. That’s it.
