Restaurants will hire staff back when this is over as will Office Depot.
In the interim, those laid off employees will also receive stimulus checks as well as having the ability to file for unemployment which has been raised quite a bit. In addition, businesses are able to obtain business loans to pay their employees which will be forgiven if they do, in fact, pay their staff.
My check, and yes I will receive one, is going to the vet techs at my veterinarian and if permitted, small gift cards to those at Publix that helped keep us fed. I don’t need anyone to decide where my money goes. I’m smart enough to decide that on my own and know who I want to help.
