None of our employees ever, at any point over those few days, ever said, "We don't want to come to work."Our sanitation practices are already rigorous, but we were taking precautions.

It's hard because people look at tenoverten and think, "Oh, they're making money through their products, they're." The truth is, we took out loans to produce our production for Target, which just delivered in February, so we are not liquid as a company. Maybe if this had happened six months ago, before we did that production, we would've had enough money in the bank to pay a week's worth of pay, or two weeks.
