Choose Clark Cash for the fastest base checkout
Clark Cash has the fastest listed base checkout delay at 1.20 seconds per item, with a $400 daily wage. He unlocks at shop level 25; use an earlier, cheaper hire while you build toward that point.
Compare every employee's unlock, cost and base speed
These figures describe the version 1.0 PC roster and its base action delays. Training, bonuses and walking time are outside the listed timings. Lower action delays mean faster actions, while whole-shift throughput also depends on those other factors.
| Employee | Shop level | Hiring cost | Daily wage | Base checkout: seconds per item | Base shelf restock: seconds per item |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zackery Cole | 10 | $500 | $50 | 3.79 | 2.45 |
| Terence Fay | 15 | $1,000 | $150 | 3.06 | 2.55 |
| Dennis Brandon | 20 | $2,000 | $300 | 2.59 | 1.25 |
| Clark Cash | 25 | $2,400 | $400 | 1.20 | 2.50 |
| Angus Mick | 30 | $3,000 | $400 | 3.39 | 0.40 |
| Benji Otto | 35 | $5,000 | $500 | 1.73 | 1.20 |
| Alexander Cole | 38 | $8,000 | $400 | 1.90 | 1.23 |
| Lauren Posie | 40 | $7,500 | $500 | 1.86 | 1.00 |
| Axel Charleton | 45 | $10,000 | $700 | 1.32 | 0.50 |
Read the checkout and restocking columns together before deciding where a worker belongs. Clark Cash leads the base checkout comparison, while Angus Mick leads base shelf restocking. Use the hiring cost and daily wage to decide which improvement your shop can afford.
Choose an early hire that fits the bottleneck
Zackery Cole is the cheapest initial worker, making him the starting point to consider when wages are your main concern. Terence Fay offers an earlier dedicated cashier option. Dennis Brandon is a balanced earlier restocker if replenishment needs more attention.
Start by watching where you spend your own time. If serving customers is keeping you at the register, consider checkout help; if replenishment is the recurring problem, weigh the restocking column more heavily. Keep enough operating profit available to cover the wages of whichever worker you choose.
Pair later checkout help with shelf coverage
Clark Cash's base checkout delay is shorter than Axel Charleton's, even though Axel unlocks later and has a higher daily wage. Angus Mick has the fastest listed base shelf-restock delay, making him a candidate for dedicated replenishment. Benji Otto, Alexander Cole and Lauren Posie also have both action delays listed, so compare the role you need against the cost of hiring them.
Use the table to identify a role before adding another wage to the shop. A quick cashier helps with checkout, while a dedicated restocker can cover replenishment separately. Choose your next hire according to the work that still needs attention after the existing assignments are in place.
Assign checkout as the worker's main job
- Set checkout as your chosen cashier's primary job so serving customers takes priority.
- Choose a secondary assignment for work you want handled when the primary job is unavailable.
- Assign separate restocking help if shelf replenishment needs attention while checkout remains busy.
- Watch the queue and shelves after assigning jobs to decide which task needs your attention next.
Employees switch to their secondary job only when primary work is unavailable. Keep that priority in mind when you expect a cashier to restock between customers. If replenishment needs steady coverage, consider giving it a dedicated worker instead of relying entirely on the cashier's secondary task.
Check Alexander Cole's assignment and departure time
If Alexander Cole leaves the register before you finish serving customers, start with the time and his active assignment. A worker leaving checkout can reflect scheduling or job availability. Players have reported cashiers departing around 9 PM while customers were still queued.
- Check the time when the worker leaves so you can plan checkout cover around the departure.
- Review the active primary and secondary jobs to see which task the employee should be doing.
- Inspect the staffed register and available queue path before treating the departure as a register problem.
- Check whether a bonus was applied alongside the time, assignment and register coverage.
Plan your checkout cover around the behavior you see in your shop. Keep yourself available to serve the remaining queue when you expect a departure. When you compare workers, consider both their listed action speed and the coverage your shop needs.
