I used "instacart.com" when I was stuck in COVID 19 the year before last. Safeway, Foodland, Don Quijote, Costco, Target, etc. are available. I mainly picked up stuff from Safeway. However, the prices are all fixed, and sometimes they are 50% more than in the store, including shipping, and sometimes almost double (sometimes the total was less ）). However, if you download the app to your phone, you will receive a Direct Message from the shopper and can make changes on the spot, which is very convenient. Also, due to the store's circumstances, there are many cases where an item is not available in the store even though it is listed on the web, so in such cases, the decision can be made through conversation via Direct Message. In general, if you can accept the high price, I think it is convenient to use.

I wrote to you a while ago, but it doesn't seem to have been sent, so I am writing again from memory. I used "instacart.com" last year when I was stuck in COVID 19. As for stores, Safeway, FoodLand, Costoco, Target, Don Quijote, etc. are available. I mainly used Safeway. If you download the app to your phone, you will receive a direct message when the delivery person goes to the store, and if something is missing, you can talk to him or her via message and have it changed. However, the store may have a special sale of the day, but this is all at a fixed price, and when shipping and other fees are added, the price is sometimes 50% to almost double the price. They even bring heavy items to your door. All in all, I think it is a convenient system if you can tolerate the high prices.

SJDummy,
Thanks for letting me know ！ (I appreciate you even resubmitting the message )
I have no experience with Instacart, but it was a market reference.
Since Covid, I have done most of my shopping online, and since the services such as meal kits and Imperfect Foods have become more diversified, I have been ordering casually, but I was wondering if it would be a nuisance to order in the same way if the delivery and staffing situations were different.

I have one question too.
Many customers who pay their bill by credit card also pay the tip on top of their card, but I get it by check as well. The tip is also included in the 1099, so I pay the GEtax. I know that tips are also taxed, but do you also do it that way ？?

mcsk, in my case, the tip on the card is accounted for, but the store does not account for the cash.

U.S. Department of Labor Finds Oahu Restaurant Owner Allowed Managers to Give Tip Share and Refused to Pay Kitchen Workers Overtime
Investigation Results in Recovery of $170,000 in Unpaid Wages and Penalties for 13 Workers

Honolulu - Honolulu restaurant owner allowed manager to illegally control a portion of workers' tips, averaging 55 per week A recent federal investigation uncovered facts that made it difficult for employees to earn a living by refusing to pay overtime wages to cooks who worked an average of 55 hours per week.

An investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage ・ and Hour Division found that Rinka restaurant owner ・ R-International Inc. violated the Fair Labor Standards Act, resulting in $85,000 in unpaid wages for 13 employees and R-International Inc. was cited for violating the Fair Labor Standards Act and $85,000 in unpaid wages to 13 employees and a penalty of the same amount was collected. The department also lent the employer $10,000 in civil penalties for its egregious violations.

"The owner of Rinka Restaurant violated the law by refusing to pay the full amount of tips earned by its employees and by refusing to pay the required overtime to its cooks, demonstrating an abusive disregard for workers' rights," Honolulu Wage ・ Labor Hours Division Director Terrence ・ Trotter said.

I recently moved here from California.
When I look at restaurant jobs, I often see that the server's paycheck (hourly rate) often includes tips.
Is this legal in Hawaii? ？ Is it not illegal because it is higher than the minimum? Please let me know if you know!

I have a question for landlords ． Even if I have a Japanese vaccine passport, I still need to take the PCR test ？
In that case, can I only take it at a hospital designated by the state of Hawaii? ？ I'm not sure if it's possible to get to Okinawa. Also, since Hokkaido and Okinawa are not connected by land, do you know if I can go back to Okinawa right away after 3 days of waiting in a hotel ？ I guess I should have asked the Hawaii Travel Bureau ？.

I am just returning home using Zip Air.

I chose this airline because the price was more reasonable than other airlines. I decided to purchase Zip Air because the price was more reasonable than other airlines and I also considered the cost of the PCR test required to enter Japan internationally and to return to Hawaii.


The Zip Air counter was located near the JAL counter and Hawaii Airline staff assisted us with check-in.
On the plane, there are no monitors on the seats
so you might want to bring your own iPad or something. The seats are not equipped with monitors, so you might want to bring your own iPad, but the Wi-Fi was free
so I spent my time messaging my family and surfing the net.
No drinks were served, only meal offerings and a small bottle of water. After getting off the plane, I had to sit in a chair and wait for almost an hour to submit my documents before the PCR test, but since I had only had a small bottle of water for in-flight use, it was very difficult to spit it out.
It is better to drink as much water as possible on board.
The number of passengers was in the single digits, so the waiting time was not that long.
The arrival lobby was Terminal 1.

I am still in Japan, so I don't know about the return flight. If I don't know, I ask Zip Air Customer Service online, but they didn't give me a very good reply about the negative certificate.

It is a low-cost airline, so I don't think I should expect so much.

Thank you for your valuable experience. I am stunned that I am finally going to be quarantined 6 days from Hawaii
I guess I deserve it in case I brought a Corona to my family in Japan. Sure, you can ask questions at customer service. I also have a lot of uncertainties about the inspection when I return, so I will ask them. Thank you for everything. Please take care of yourself for the rest of your stay.

Maruko-san

I was lucky that I was only quarantined at home for 14 days when I entered Japan about 2 months ago.
I thought that the number of infected people in Japan has been decreasing and the situation back home would gradually warm up, but with the appearance of the new Omicron mutant strain, things are getting tougher and tougher. The situation of entering Japan and returning to Hawaii changes every day, so I think it is very difficult for everyone to keep track.
I am also anxious to return to Hawaii safely.

I think you should register My SOS, Contact Confirmation App before you enter Japan, it will save you time as they will check if you have downloaded it properly after PCR inspection.
After that, a staff member explained how to use the app, but I hesitated because the desks next to each other were too close to each other. I think you should be careful during this time. During my stay, I am meeting people I want to meet while I am here. I don't know when I will be able to enter Japan again.
I know that there are people living in Hawaii who have not been able to return to Japan for many years.
Due to the new Omicron strain, it has become more difficult to enter Japan. I hope this new strain will not cause much damage, and I hope we will be able to enter and return to Japan soon as before.

How long will Mr. Corona

＞ ask him about it, and he will suddenly come up with seniors and disabilities.
＞ People who work decently hard work hard to make ends meet with daily ingredients rather than sushi and cake.

I really felt that.
We get protection from the state through taxes collected from working people.
Don't you think we should first use it to buy the minimum amount of food we need to survive? If you are a sane person.

I happened to see a video on YouTube the other day, and I was on the verge of homelessness with my two children before, and I heard about food stamps
from a friend and did some research. However, I had a strange sense of pride, and in the end I managed to get by without assistance.
Looking back, I wish I had received food stamps because I was really struggling. That's what aid is for.
I still feel bad that I put my pride first and made my children live on
cup noodles and water for a few weeks, especially if they have children.
We should be grateful to receive them when we need them and work hard until the day comes when we don't need them.
This video made me proud of the pride that people have in those who are breaking free from receiving benefits forever💪

Lord

I was rude to those who are disabled and unable to work.

I think they deserve support from the government.

I know a person who lives with two adults

and receives support from the government, yet there are people who complain about the food rations

they receive and go to the extent of asking for it

and I just couldn't help but think of that person. I was overlapping with that person.

It would be nice if there were more places where EBT could be used.

Good luck.

Topic.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write to us.

My unemployment insurance benefits ended in September, and after that my income was only for one Social Security.

My job search hasn't been going so well with no contact from anyone, but I'm not going to give up.
If I can find a job, I think I can and should be able to live without assistance with Social Security and my salary, even though I am barely making ends meet as before.

Corona also has no shortage of causes for concern, such as the outbreak of Omicron stock, but I hope that you will take care of yourself and have a safe holiday season.

Thank you very much.
