Yes, in America we ask working people to subsidize low wages. The restaurant industry lobbies hard & has it so they can underpay workers & require patrons to pay extra to make up for it.


So how does it work for other staff in the restaurant that don't serve and therefore can't get tips? Say you're working the till or washing dishes or cooking and aren't serving customers, would you get a higher wage because you're not getting tips?


Id like to know the answer to this too.

Yes. Non-serving jobs are required to be paid the federal or state minimum wage, whichever is higher.

The U.S. basically took the Hawai'ian islands by force and ownership of their land.

You could understand why they are pissed with white haole's flaunting their expensive hobby


If that was the case they'd hate every tourist thing that comes through...


There is a vocal group that do. They do not want any tourists.


There's also a group that wants the Hawai'ian Monarchy resorted and to no longer be part of the US

Kinda like the Republic of Texas movement

No kidding

The Republic of Texas movement are also arguing - like the Kingdom of Hawai'i people - that they were illegally annexed by the US and should be granted their Independence
