Restaurant. And it’s not $600, it’s an EXTRA $600 on top of whatever benefit they qualify for which could be as high as $390 per week, so $990/ week for 4 months not too shabby for mailbox money.
It must be based on the store's loss prevention metrics. BG Walmart has them. Many bottles at the Heartland crossing do. (Higher end Bourbon-like products are in a small (2x2) case... probably 6-8 skus) The neighborhood WM at Kentucky and 465 had such a problem the ENTIRE spirits case is locked and treated like guns: Ring a doorbell. Tell the associate what you want. They carry it to the front for you and when you get to the register you have to ask the cashier to go get it from the CSM/Self serve checkout station. The last (and final) trip I went through the self checkout because I saw where she took it. I got to the checkout but couldn't get the guys attention without yelling like an a-hole. When I walked over to get his attention, I lost my place in line and had to get behind another person. I was NOT a happy camper. Luckily it was the store manager I snagged. He got a polite ear full. He was unsympathetic and a bit condescending "But do you know why we do it?" "No S, Sherlock. But that's not my problem you dont have better security and have to treat me and everyone else like a criminal."

Indiana Unemployment Eligibility Requirements: Past Earnings
[FONT=&]Like every state, Indiana looks at your recent work history and earnings during a one-year "base period" to determine your eligibility for unemployment. (For more information, see Nolo's article, Unemployment Compensation: Understanding the Base Period). In Indiana, as in most states, the base period is the earliest four of the five complete calendar quarters before you filed your benefits claim. For example, if you filed your claim in December of 2015, the base period would be from July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2015.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]To qualify for benefits in Indiana, you must meet all of the following four requirements:[/FONT]
So it’s possible depending on employment and earnings you didn’t qualify?
- You must have earned at least $4,200 in the entire base period.
- You must have earned at least $2,500 in the last six months of the base period.
- In the entire base period, you must have earned at least 1.5 times your wages in the highest paid quarter of the base period.
I know this, if you do not have a substantial cash reserve at home you should.
There is a bank branch I drive past on my commute to work. I have driven by it at least 2-3 times a week for the past 29+ years. I have NEVER seen anything like I saw today. See photo below. The drive-thru was packed with all lanes full and cars backed up into the street. This is in a lower economic area so lots of SS, disability, welfare, snap, etc recipients. I would assume most of these folks are account holders who would have ATM cards but maybe not. Did a slew of tax return or stimulus payments go out?

All normal banking is now happening through the drive throughs. I don't think that is particularly high volume for a payday (Friday); it's just all grouped outside.

Why? If the banks fail, FDIC will pick up the tab. If they don't, the money in your account will be so much worthless numbers on a computer screen, and you'll need a suitcase full of paper money to buy a loaf of bread, if it's worth anything at all. Doesn't even make good toilet paper. The new currency will be beans and bullets.
So let me get this straight.
1. You can quit a job and draw unemployment
2. You get 600 more bones a week in your check on top of your normal unemployment check
Ol John that picks up cigarette butts and sweeps the parking lot for $10 bucks a hour can make more money sitting in his trailer drinking PBR and watching Sanford and son reruns?
So generally lower income people tend to waste money when they have any income beyond necessary stuff like Cigarettes and PBR. So I guess we will be able to get some great buys on big screen TV’s and such soon.
