We learn that Steak and Shake will be closing most of their stores for good. And then, Sweet Tomatoes is closing ALL of their stores for good. I am sure, as you are saying, there will be more.

Drroogh Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 2 hours ago, IU Scott said: It was a little complicated, I had worked for this trucking company for 6 years. I worked in their maintenance department processing all of their repair invoices. On March 26tj we found out our department was being taken over my another repair company. I stayed on getting all of our invoices caught up and the day I finally got caught up was the day I found out that I had the virus. Scott talk about getting served a bad day! Praying for you and all the others in similar situations! Just have to say since our entire plant goes on furlough for two weeks after tomorrow, the only non customer service/sales department still working is accounting handling the invoices! You can find work! But you better get after it, I’m told those 600 cv payments run out July 1st! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Tomatoes and the death of the American dream My understanding on Steak N Shake is they closed 57 stores this week....but still have 500+ running. Their business model has been in trouble for quite awhile. They want fast and friendly but also invest millions in kitchen equipment. They might want to do what BW3 is doing near Atlanta....which is contact less food to go. I think many in the food business would be wise to add this option asap on all platforms.

mrflynn03 Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 And dont feel guilty for taking unemployment. Employers pay into an unemployment trust fund for each employee. The first $10,000 from state UI is non tax dollars. Good luck Scott. I'll send another prayer up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the one in six restaurants that survive you can be sure that the overwhelming majority will be the restaurants you wish didn’t!

We were in the middle of a food revolution with so much more good stuff out there to try. Feel bad for all restaurants in Bloomington that opened in the last few years. I wonder how many will survive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw where they recommend to do vouchers on those days. I will have to back on the website to make sure I know exactly what to do. Might need to go back and change something if I can because I am afraid on the amount it would take to accept a job. I might have put the amount to high so I hope that does not influence if I get accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I think it's pretty much assumed that we are laid off due to Covid, and that virtually no one is hiring for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 It's May 15. And time for another Colorado fly over. This time by the Colorado National Guard. And unlike the others, that have flown over the big cities in the front range. This one will be flying over smaller communities in the mountains, and Southern Colorado.

She returned home and had an absolute nagging dry cough, fatigue,etc....for about 2 weeks in January. We've been obviously discussing over the last month but curious if she had it back in January and just didn't know. Forgot to add....not mention all the sickness that took place up in Northern Indiana this past winter. Maybe it wasn't the flu??

Forgot to add....not mention all the sickness that took place up in Northern Indiana this past winter. Maybe it wasn't the flu?? As soon as an antibody test is available in my area I will get it. Because I woke up Jan. 11 this year feeling off, went to Bloomington for the day and was passed out in the truck by 2. Got home went straight to bed and woke up with a 103 degree fever. Persistent low grade fever, dry hacking cough, fatigue, headaches and body aches. Took 3 weeks to finally start to feel normal. Wife had the same thing when I was about 2 weeks in and took her about 3 weeks to recover. Don't know what it was but never have experienced anything like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
