[ TASK ] As one of our clever ponies at the tech Stable, your job is to fix customer's technology and troubleshoot it while making as much money as possible, making sure to fit and maintain our monitoring implants and software in the process.
[ MECHANICS ] Roll 1d6 twice, each roll is half the day. - The hardware you are brought is a complete mess, it's screen is cracked in a way you can't replace, it simply won't boot correctly or it has been in some sort of terrible sticky accident. All you can do is commemorate its memory and send the customer over to your colleague on the shop floor, losing your commission in the process. - The fix is easy, the customer isn't very tech savvy and had simply tripped a background setting without meaning to, you can fix it in five minutes but those five minutes cost them dearly. - Somehow this customer has managed to break the monitoring process on their device, taking them off of the collective data grid, this has in essence bricked their tech, they bring it to you, you easily reinstall the spyware and they are on their way. - Some piece of hardware needs replaced, it is easily done but you tell them it will take 24 hours and charge them incredible prices for the part they need. - The customer wants nothing more than to talk to you about the store, the products, the CEO and everything else and none of your social hints to go away seem to work on them, delaying you in your work for half the morning - The hardware is outdated but somehow you get it running again, Tyr stops by and offers the customer a discount on an upgrade to a more modern product which they take and end up spending a great deal more than they meant to that day on in-store financing.

The Mist Hunter hoped that his genuine desire to help and be useful and make the lives of others easier would be manifested in this job. Because working in Retail could be such a spirit killer that even Pedro didn't think he could avoid it if he was forced to work without means of blowing off steam.
When his customer approached with their problem, Pedro got to work. He found that the hardware was outdated but he also knew sometimes you couldn't afford anything newer and did his best to get it running again. As he was about to wave the customer goodbye, Tyr stopped by and offered the customer a discount on an upgrade to a more modern product. The customer took Tyr up on the offer and ended up spending a great deal more than they meant to that day on in-store financing.
Pedro was torn by this but at least the customer was happy.

With his first shift pretty much handled, Pedro was optimistic that he would be able to provide a cheaper, satisfactory alternative for the customers. Unfortunately for him, while he really, really, really wanted to help and would have probably risked getting fired, when he saw the customer's shitty attitude to the other workers before Pedro was assigned to them, the Mist Hunter decided said customer deserved to pay through the nose.
He used simple word to explain what was wrong, smiling in his usual friendly big-brotherly manner way. "You gotta get this piece of hardware replaced. It's an easy fix, ten minutes tops." He began. But then he explained just how far away the part was stocked and then he'd found out that it needed to be special ordered. "Overnight delivery's a huge hefty add-on."
Sometimes, you couldn't treat shitty people like they weren't s**t.
