No wonder tourists are not going to Hawaii. One is taxed to death. It is already extremely expensive for airfare, groceries, gas for expensive rental cars, etc. My husband and I use to live there and returned yearly but not anymore. Sad but Hawaii is fast losing it’s Aloha
I’ll go one better…there are restaurants in high tourist cities in Europe that now charge diners for every time a waiter comes to their table. Hard to believe Hawaii hasn’t caught on to this yet.
