Come on. I know bartenders that pull in 500 dollars or more on weekends. They do t need that little 600 dollars.
Places that are open are allowed to be at 25% capacity. Some places couldn't even reach capacity. (I was in New Orleans a couple of weeks ago and never saw the city so dead.) Where I live, there is no inside service.
So the point of the article is that the extra $600 per week creates a disincentive to work. I overheard the bartenders in NOLA who returned to work talking about how little they made in tips and that it would have been better to stay home. So I actually heard them say exactly what this article is stating.
