Talking Shop

While waiting for my food to be cooked at a Korean restaurant by Walmart, I spoke with the owner. She is Korean and lived in Korea for 30 years. She came to Hawaii ten years ago and has been running the restaurant for two years but only the last year full time. She works everyday about twelve hours a day. She said it is such hard work but not just because the restaurant business is tough. It is because she has to call the police all the time in Hawaii! She never had to do that in Korea but she said she is used to it now. She said that homeless people often cause problems by bothering her or the customers. Sometimes, they sleep all day by the restaurant. They also put trash in the post office mailbox so even the mailman complains. Also, she was recently hit by a car and the car turned out to be stolen! Last but not least there have been teenagers that steal soda from her store all the time. She caught one and got hit on the head! I never knew Hawaii was so rough!
