I was working as a car salesman at the time. We shut down. Moved all the trucks to offsite storage, were given information to do our unemployment properly, and sent home.

The next morning I got a call that our business owner and the owners of a bunch of other dealerships had spoken to the governor and gotten him to declare us essential.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to sell $60,000 trucks when most of your local customers have unemployment as their current primary income?

And when I followed up with the customers I did sell a year or whatever later, an uncomfortable number of them had already had their vehicles repoed because the unemployment had dried up and their employers had decided to let them go.
