I followed the tutorial for multilocation (waiting area) but my staff do not sit in available chairs. I tried many methods to make it work but I can only get the staff to walk to the chair area, but not sit. See attached pics and model.

There are two things going on here. First, you're acquiring a chair in the waiting room, but then you're not sending them to that specific chair. You're just having them walk to the waiting room. You should have them walk to the specific chair. I did this in the model by sampling the Location Resource in the Walk's destination field.
Second, the people module objects were built with an assumption that only person flowitems would be getting in and out of location objects, whereas staff members would just be walking up to locations and not getting in them. So you'll notice after you fix the first issue that the person sits down, but their rotation isn't correct. There are a few ways to work around this, but I think the easiest one is to move the person into the chair before doing the Walk activity. I updated your model to have the person travel to the waiting room, move into the chair, and then Walk to the specific chair and sit down.
