Isn't this going to tank in the long run? I have friends who are servers at restaurants (some fine dining and some just your franchise restaurants like Chilis) pulling $875 a week. Hell, if it wasn't for my job's medical insurance I'd get fired just to draw unemployment at $875 a week. Cannot fathom how all these people are now getting paid MORE to be unemployed.

This is the problem my company has. We own a bar. The people we laid off due to the lockdown are now making more than they did when they were working. The PPP program requires us to bring our payroll back to where it was before the lockdown to be forgiven the loan, but they would make less if they did so. So now we have to hire randos at $12/hr just to pad the payroll for 8 weeks.
If you hired people who would much rather sit on their butts and collect a check than work at the job you hired them for, you shouldn't complain. Good riddance, move on.
If you offer your employees their pay back and they refuse then that's considered quitting their job and they should be removed from UC
3 months wages divided by 26 is how they figure unemployment. That’s 50% of working wages. Not sure where you came up with them making more than they made working. Not how it’s figured, even with the possible $600 extra bucks tacked on by the CARES act.
No. I have a friend who works at Chilis she is making $875 a week since she gets unemployment. She was not making that at Chilis in Huntsville, Alabama. No friggin' way.
