Supermarket Simulator Tips: Should You Get a Cashier?

In Supermarket Simulator, you get to run your own store and develop it into a flourishing business with high income. On your way to achieving that, you have to gradually develop the supermarket, overcoming obstacles and dealing with necessary taxes.

Running a whole store is definitely not a one-person job, and managing restocking, client service, and overall management all at once can be very draining. For this reason, Supermarket Simulator gives you the option of hiring your own cashier. In this article, you will learn more about how and why you should hire a cashier, as well as its disadvantages.

How to Hire a Cashier? 

Hiring a cashier is not difficult. To be eligible for your first cashier, your store should reach level 10, and you should conduct at least 200 checkouts. You need to pay an initial hiring tax of $80 and provide a daily wage of another $80.

Although the wage might not seem substantial, resist the urge to hire a cashier as soon as you meet the criteria. Instead, ensure that you are generating a stable income every day, allowing you to easily cover the worker's pay without compromising your profits at the end of the day.

How Helpful Is the Cashier?

The cashier is a crucial upgrade for your store. When you reach a point in your supermarket development where managing all the tasks becomes challenging on your own, a helping hand can make a significant difference. Having another worker take care of customers will allow you to track your products and prices, handle necessary orders, stock items, and more.

As you develop your store, you'll notice that the time during your day shift is barely enough for you to finish all these tasks. Hiring a cashier is an easily justifiable and highly effective step toward developing your successful supermarket.

Are There Any Downsides of Having a Cashier?

While we believe that a cashier can be very helpful, there are certainly some downsides that you might notice. One issue is that the cashier doesn't work as fast as you do. If customers in the game have to choose between going to your cash register or your hired cashier's, they will most likely choose yours.

However, that doesn't mean some clients will avoid buying products because the cashier is perceived as 'slow' or 'unreliable' compared to you; there won't be any difference in the number of customers.

If you find yourself with nothing to do because serving customers takes up most of the workday, it probably means you didn't need a cashier at that point in your progress. A cashier is helpful when you need your workload to be reduced, not when you are left with nothing else to do after finishing your management tasks.

In short, don't hire a cashier just because your store reached level 10; do it when you feel like your supermarket has developed to that point. Later on, one cashier may not be enough, so consider getting a second cashier as well. Gradually improving your store is key to maximizing your profits.
