"You were instructed to keep the store open, but were unable to perform your job-required duties because you got arrested attempting to do so, therefore you are fired. Request to pay your legal fees is denied."

And you were fired with cause so no unemployment insurance because America is barbaric.

Due to current circumstances, I believe it unlikely unemployment insurance claims will denied in this situation.

If you work at GameStop, call the local authorities, get a copy of the police report, go home and file for unemployment.

>>unemployment insurance

What's that? Is that a thing people have in US? I'm honestly curious, never heard of such a thing, outside of a context of mortage insurance which can cover you temporarily if you lose your job.

Oh, so just like unemployment benefits then. It's not actually an insurance you need to purchase beforehand.

It’s insurance paid by employers to the government through a tax.
