I would like to exchange coins that have accumulated in a large jar. ？
I remember exchanging coins at a machine in a corner of some supermarket many years ago,
but now I cannot remember where it was ・ ・.
If anyone knows where the machine is or where I can exchange money, please let me know.

You can deposit the money into your account at the bank.
In that case, you have to do the work of bundling the coins together
If you have a lot of quarters, it can be quite a lot of money and fun
The bank has paper like tubes to bundle the coins.

Foodland is located at the entrance of Market City ！
There seems to be a small fee for this service.
Oh, all Foodland stores will be closed on Sunday, 1/9.
Just to let you know 😀.

I have a question...
- I have to take a pre-test （ PCR NAAT test or antigen test ） within 3 days of flight departure to Hawaii, and present a negative certificate from a medical institution
. Does this mean that a negative certificate from a hospital designated by the State of Hawaii is not required as in the past ？?

Online Shopping in Hawaii

I just moved here from California and would like to know what the online shopping situation is like in Hawaii.
I used to get my groceries and other items delivered online, but how does everyone in Hawaii do it? ？
I live in a condo where I can pick up packages with no problem.
I would like to have bulky or heavy items delivered as much as possible because it takes time for the car to arrive.

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 saw it on the news and didn't understand it, so please tell me.
I saw that the tip was divided among everyone working that day, but shouldn't the owner or management really receive it?
I tried to look it up on the site but the English was difficult to understand ↓

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.

News Release
U.S. Department of Labor ｜ November 1, 2021

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. This incident is a warning that violating federal law can be very serious. We encourage all employers to contact us or use the U.S. Department of Labor's online resources before implementing potentially non-compliant practices."

Since 2016, the Wage ・ and Hour Division has reported that the Western Region conducted more than 2,650 investigations in the restaurant industry and recovered $24 million in unpaid wages for more than 15,300 employees. The department's Honolulu District Office
has conducted 228 of these investigations, found violations in 219 cases, and recovered more than $1.4 million in unpaid wages for nearly 1,700 employees.

For more information on the FLSA and other laws enforced by our division, please contact our toll-free helpline at 866- 4US-WAGE （ 487-9243 ）. Wages ・ For more information on the Division of Hours of Work, including a search tool to use when the Division may reimburse wages collected, please click here. Workers, whether immigrants or not, may call the Wage ・Work Hours Department with confidential questions. The department is available in over 200 languages.

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!

How I got hooked on investing in U.S. stocks.

Hi ！ I got hooked on investing in US stocks during the pandemic lockdown. I wasn't interested in investing or anything like that, but during the pandemic I thought it was a waste to use my government checks for
shopping, so I used them to invest in US stocks, which I was interested in after watching YouTube during the pandemic.
I would like to exchange information with anyone who is investing in US stocks or interested in doing so. I would like to open a YouTube channel by the end of January next year.
In case you are interested, my current top picks that I actually think are good buys are AFRM ($ 99 below), NIO ($ 29 below), HOOD ($ 18 below), PYPL ($ 185 below). Of course Tesla is nice, but too expensive and unaffordable.
I use Webull for trading, but right now they are running a campaign where if you open a new account and make a deposit of $ 1, you get 5 shares at random. If you want, you can sign up at https://a.webull.com/ga6MAy8TDR1qODkWDp. The referrer also gets a bonus, so it's a win-win. I'm waiting for your comment.
