The company was in the midst of a lot of turnover and they had a lot of younger people coming into management positions who had no previous experience. My friend and one particular manager butted heads quite frequently and often left my friend to work alone - doing the work of two people in the process. My friend went to the store manager and asked her options and he told her she was not in danger of being fired and not to worry about it. A week later, he fired her. Now, I don't know if that is what made the difference or not, but my friend collected unemployment from this company. I don't really know the rules because I have not had any experiences with it, but I do believe in some cases it's entirely possible to collect unemployment even if you've been fired. In regards to income, other things you can do while waiting for work include giving blood/plasma and participating in medical trials. I have a client who will tell you he is a professional guinea pig because that is literally what he does all year is take medical trials. He says he averages about $25,000 a year doing that. Now, I don't know if that's all true, but I do know that some of those studies can be pretty lucrative. In desperate times, it may be worth a look.
