How can I get rid of staff? I tried letting them get stressed out to make the quit. It does not work. Someone please help so that I can get rid of staff. I am only interested in temp staff right now so that I can have better profits since temp staff does not get stressed out and I seem to make more money using temp staff.

Butterfly, don’t send your staff on breaks. Don’t bump impatient tourists to the front of the line - this lets them get angry. These contribute to stress events. They should quit after 3 stress events, but I haven’t had that happen yet. I decided to actually try to finish this thing. I just unlocked the cash register - I really hope this makes payments faster, because they’re painfully slow without it.

By the way, a shift is 4 hours.

You should be able to get their unhappiness really low and they will quit.

Okay. I let them get stressed out with no breaks but they never have more than 1 stress event.

I agree - payments are horribly slow and I hope the cash register installation helps with payments. I just unlocked it too.

You could also not give them time off - just let their happiness drain away. That takes more time, though.

The cash register only helps a little. Each transaction seems marginally faster, but tourists are also requesting more items, so it’s kind of a wash.

I‘m not always back in time to start the next tour. I either miss the 4th tour or have to pay 12 SP to start it.

Wait, you have to spend 1 SP to be able to spend 12 SP? That just defies logic

Sorry for posting a screenshot with half the information :oops:
(I‘ll remove that one)

It should have shown this:

Well, I bit the bullet and started this…very anticlimactic!
I was afraid I was going to be stuck there for the whole shift and other things would suffer but, other than bumping up a couple tourists, I’m not really needed lol!
