^ tourists will rip you a new one every time their order isn't cooked right. they're more nitpicky than the locals.

as for wages, it averages out to less than minimum wage per hour because your tips are taxed.
my girl does about 20 an hour with tips factored in at her restaurant....and they tax her tips, but its usually a set percentage...

^ you should read the other "i'm thinking about moving to hawaii" threads on here. a lot of people advise you to save up a lot of money before heading out to hawaii.

take a look at our rental properties at http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/apa/?SAB=oah

Studios (with just a hotplate, no stove/oven/full fridge) in waikiki can cost around $1500/month, no parking included. consider if you can afford that much rent each month.

m-f morning rush (6am to 8am): 1.5 hours
m-f afternoon rush (4pm to 6pm): 1 hour

normal commute during non-rush periods is approximately 40 minutes. as always, the times increase with accidents.
