  1. Some Restaurants need to be reminded of the Health Regulations by shutting them down temporarily or permanently. At a time that they are having difficulty operating maybe reminders of what others are experiencing will have a positive effect that’s beneficial for everyone. With less competition, understaffing issues, etc. Complacency shouldn’t be allowed to occur, food borne illnesses due to pathogens negatively cuts away at the bottom line quickly.

  2. Wow, no idea what happened, I left late 2018 before the shutdowns….sooo much seems to have changed since then. But Mambo is right across the street from where I used to work, and, for a time, I also lived in Paia town. Many good memories of Mambo, ..this all confuses me. But so much has changed.

  3. Gone are the days of teens graduating and finding jobs. I always wondered how these people who have left jobs are surviving! Stimulus could only go so far. Living off parents? Doing illegal activities? Working from home. I was surprised that KIUC dosen’t have a walk in bill pay anymore!!!! After Covid, mental health was affected. People didn’t trust others like before. Even the attitudes of teens are so disrespectful. Miss the simple days of humility humbleness and the Spirit of Aloha.

    1. Not sure what this has to do with “food safety”. I used to own a small restaurant in the South of France and anyone owning or working in a restaurant should be obligated to learn about food safety. Some people might not report that they got sick after eating at a particular restaurant, but I wish they would! They should have the same standards that grocery stores. How would you feel if you saw roaches on the aisles when buying food? Having a clean and safe environment is a must for any restaurant! Of course, what is even more dangerous is taking out frozen food, then refreeze it …you can get seriously ill, especially if it’s fish or icecream. Let’s increase food safety and remove the crazy dancing restrictions in Maui!
