Revision 2

Overview

Posey's Surf Shop is a beachside retail store in Bliss Bay that sells surf gear and beachwear. It offers an active career path with two ranks: Cashier and Manager. As an active career, players accompany their Zoi to the store during each shift and complete tasks directly, rather than sending the Zoi off to a rabbit hole. The shop operates on a three-day work week with shifts running from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

Posey's Surf Shop is exclusive to Bliss Bay. Players living in Dowon cannot access this career. The equivalent retail option in Dowon is the AZ Convenience Store.

Career Ranks

Both positions are open to Young Adult, Adult, and Middle-Aged Zois. The promotion from Cashier to Manager more than doubles the per-shift salary from 360 to 918 Meow.

How to Apply

1. Open the Smartphone and navigate to the Careers app.

2. Browse the Bliss Bay job listings.

3. Select Cashier (Posey's Surf Shop) to apply.

4. Your Zoi will start their first shift on the next scheduled work day.

Shift Tasks

During each shift, a task list appears in the top-left corner of the screen. Tasks are divided into morning and afternoon blocks, each with a time limit. Completing all tasks within the allotted time fills the promotion gauge. Failing to finish tasks before their timers expire slows promotion progress.

Morning Tasks (9:00 AM - 1:00 PM)

Afternoon Tasks (1:00 PM - 6:00 PM)

Night Tasks (Extended Schedule Only)

If you adjust your Zoi's work schedule to extend past 6:00 PM, additional night tasks appear:

Promotion Mechanics

The promotion gauge fills as you complete shift tasks. With consistent task completion, promotion from Cashier to Manager is possible in approximately 3 to 4 working days (about one in-game week). If the promotion gauge is full but no promotion occurs, it means there is no vacancy for the Manager position yet. Shortening your work schedule may slow promotion progress, while extending it does not accelerate it beyond normal pace.

Three unexcused absences from work result in termination. Always make sure your Zoi shows up on scheduled work days.

Restocking

The Restock Items task only triggers when customers have emptied shelves. If no shelves are empty, the task cannot be completed that shift. This is the only task that may be impossible to finish on a given day, so do not worry if it stays incomplete. Focus on completing all other tasks instead.

Comparison to Other Retail Careers

All three retail stores (Posey's, McKenzie, and AZ) share the same salary structure of 360/918 Meow, the same 3-day work week, and the same 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM schedule. The only difference is their city location and the specific in-store tasks.

Tips

• Cluster nearby tasks together to minimize walking time between objects inside the store

• Watch your Zoi carefully during counter duty; they may wander off and abandon the stool if left on autonomy

• The three-day schedule leaves four free days per week for skill building, university studies, or hobbies

• Posey's is a great fit for Zois who enjoy surfing and beach life, keeping them near Bliss Bay's coastal attractions

• At 918 Meow per shift, the Manager position pays more than several full-time entry-level careers despite being part-time
