Everythings normal for a lot longer than anyone thought, which amounts to 3-5 business days.
Then SHTF and things go sideways.

Prices skyrocket. Inflation in general
Suddenly, everything costs a million dollars.
Well, your money becomes completely worthless. Price rise to astronomical levels and everyone is still broke.
The joggers, and those that think like them, will blow it on the usual crap. Me, I'd pay off my debts and start house hunting and weapon training. $1 million isn't enough for fuck you money, but it solves lots of problems and would make me financially independent which the bankers would hate. If I buy in the right spot, I'd be able to just build heirloom furniture to replace the flat pack shit from Ikea and use that money to pay for everything else.
This of course ignores inflation.
I honestly don't think much, most people would blow the money and end up giving it back to major corps and banks quickly anyway and the power dynamic wouldn't change much. Now if you added that they had to speak to a financial advisor or get some financial education then it could be a game changer.
If I wanted to go out and buy a large screen tv, would there be someone there to sell it to me? Why would a millionaire lower their standards by slinging crap tvs at a big box store?
Odds are most people would still go to work, I've worked low wage jobs quite a bit, and I've worked well payed jobs and in between and the truth is some people go to work to socialize as much as get payed. Example I had a man I worked with that was a manager of a different part of the company 77 years old retired from 2 different jobs and went back to work, straight up would tell you he did it to interact with people and to have a schedule.
I get that. Lots of people do that but I'm sure he is a well to do and educated man. Not everyone is like that. I've never worked a commercial field picking crops by hand before but I doubt most that do do it to socialize. Same with those that climb through storm drains or sewage pipes.
