So, my sim purchased a karaoke bar. She hired a sim to tend bar & clean up. But she will not stay at the bar, and will not clean dirty dishes even though they are piled up everywhere. Instead, she is...

Having the same issue. I have a venue with a microphone. But the employees spend all their time watching that, instead of tending bar, cooking or cleaning. At first i thought it was because I had one of their tasks to 'be friendly' so they were just getting hung up on that, so i reduced it to a single task per employee, and they still just watch the performances or read a book. I wanted the employees so they could clean and tend bar/cook, so i could focus on performing and chatting up customers, so like half my business is non funcntional while i perform. :-/
Been messing around with it a bit more, and I think what is going on is that there are some activities that are flagged as for customers that are being given to employees instead. This happens with 'grill' as well. If I set an employee to 'grill' they won't do it, but if i set it as a customer activity, they will, but the customers won't. And that's what is happening with the microphone too, I can not get the customers to watch performances, I've had to put collectibles int he room to at least draw them to the right AREA, but they won't WATCH. But the employees will.
updating this because I did figure out what the problem was, and it is unrelated to the bar problem. The problem was that i had made a raised platform stage, and customers kept walking on to it, so in an attempt to keep customers from wandering across the stage, I thought marking that area as employees only would keep customers from pathing though it. while they did stop pathing through it, it was mostly because they could no longer interact with anything on the platform, INCLUDING just watching. I raised the stage to 2 steps high, and placed some stairs with a locked door at the top, marked the stage as public, and they could watch again, and also kept them off the stage (unless they were a ghost).
