In reality, if the employees at Indes store were making less than $4000/month, it would not be worth coming back to work. It would make more sense for them to simply find a job where the business was ok not going over the $1000/month limit.
This is the worst part of CERB, but it would not be there in UBI, and therefore is not a factor.

We were 100% fine with keeping people under 1000$/month so they could get their CERB. People still didn't want to come to work, or even pick up one 5 hour shift to help out.
It ended up being quite the social experiment. They are starting to come out of the woodwork now. We've had two calls for people who want to come back to work in the next couple of weeks and expect more as CERB ends.
Obviously when they first refused to come in to work we documented it and changed their ROE to resigned.
These are all able bodied, young people who's Facebook's are filled with the leisure activities they enjoyed all summer.
The entire experience has left me extremely jaded with the average work force.
