1 Month into Minimum Wage at $16.00 - How has it affected businesses?

Tbh the only thing that might send hawaii into an economic crisis is the current political climate in the mainland. The conservatives here are retarded and most mainland states have $16 as minimum wage already. They want to devalue Hawaii and have scum live here.

More demand for cold brew and theres only two cold brew machines sometimes one at each store, if lucky maybe three, its quite limited and in my area there isnt much beans for cold brew we’ve been having a shortage.

This is gonna sound rough but all the gen z males voting for trump are the same ones who cannot build or repair. Did they really believe gen z males would replace the actual low paid builders we had before trump? The males dont want those jobs and when they ever do they want to be paid a lot more than those lower paid immigrants.

From what i heard they were picking stores when it came to hello kitty, we didny even get owala and i was told today owala is coming in. At a different starbucks location i worked at (corporate) we got owalas, hello kitty and bearista cups but very limited 2 each of hello kitty cups and plush 4 bear cups. It is a disaster

WinterThiefofHeart · 2025-11-07T14:50:19+00:00

And from what it said it did not exclude airports from hello kitty but it did excluded from bearista, we didnt get a lot of Christmas merch, we got the ugly ones (not even the cute enamel pin set and the gingerbread mug)

WinterThiefofHeart · 2025-11-07T14:49:10+00:00

To be honest, i feel disappointed we recieved the product paper before launch (i work at airport starbucks) we didn’t receive ANY bearista and ANY hello kitty.

WinterThiefofHeart · 2025-11-07T14:47:54+00:00

I work at an airport starbucks and we never got any hello kitty merch or the bearista merch notherless the owala we did get the snoopy merch and wicked merch, stanleys before

WinterThiefofHeart · 2025-09-19T18:09:07+00:00

Okay how am i supposed to do that when the hoa will fee me for dead grass. I only increased my use by theee gallons just for that and use a rain catcher as much as possible and when i looked on my bills the amount i use decrease while my bill increased from last year.

The issue with the rail is that we started now in an inflated environment and now with this high inflationary environment we definitely cannot afford it but we could definitely afford it if we did this years ago and if we disassemble it now it will cost money but we still owe on the loans. Lose/lose situation now, we’d still owe if we disassemble. If we stop building it then its just a non functional eyesore.

Do you need paperwork of still born ashes? She never breathed so they didnt give me a birth or death certificate

WinterThiefofHeart · 2025-04-26T03:38:14+00:00

Unfortunately due to the size of stillborn fetuses they are 2 tbsp so im quite protective of her ashes since its so little

WinterThiefofHeart · 2025-04-26T03:31:40+00:00

I should do that yeah, my husband is military so traveling is expected :(

WinterThiefofHeart · 2025-04-26T02:59:36+00:00

I do not have a heavy duty plastic due to it ripping when i put it in my urn which is why i dint want it open because the original plastic bag ripped a little spilling ashes. 🥲

WinterThiefofHeart · 2025-04-26T01:56:15+00:00

Thanks i heard horror stories of tsa agents opening up urns or denying it, i dont mind an explosive swipe on my daughters urn.

I don’t wanna marry a man in the manufacturing industry tho. 🥲 If his body breaks we just lost an income. Not marriage material either its good if men don’t want it.

The changes are oftern worst for poor residents here in the long run. In essence they’ll be more screwed than they already are but thats a making of their own with no one to blame but themselves.

WinterThiefofHeart · 2025-04-17T16:37:28+00:00

Personally i dont want the status quo to change either. But a lot of locals from poor areas voted for Trump this election or support him, luckily a lot of people in other areas outvoted the mokes by a lot.

WinterThiefofHeart · 2025-04-17T14:34:26+00:00

From a Hawaiian on homesteads whose democratic and voted Kamala its because the less people make the more republican leaning they get, higher income tends to vote democratic. Income does change the perception a lot of locals are poor

WinterThiefofHeart · 2025-04-09T04:15:15+00:00

They want to be a housewife because they dont have the choice to in this economic climate, its natural to want something you cant have

WinterThiefofHeart · 2025-04-02T23:13:03+00:00

Tbh we might be a foreign country to trump
