Smoking Pakalolo and Waikiki and work

Since Waikiki is a high turnover rate environment, one would suspect this is not a serious problem.  Only after working there for a year, then maybe to find out half the crew smokes pakalolo and the manager has no trouble with the employees.  What do you think will happen? Nothing! The only problem is when work is halted because one of the employees forget to smoke pakalolo on time. Many names have come and gone over the years, one thing is certain, the ones that smoked pakalolo are the very ones out of work and still looking for work at the same places they've started years before. Managers also come and go, but true warriors in the business that stay, are the very ones who've seen it all.  Do they miss each other? I would assume so. The important thing is, that is the work they do and that is where they're most likely to shop again for food and for thought and to job hunt. Hyatt Waikiki Regency has been under different managers for a lot of times over the span of 20 years, one can only imagine why a company retains its employees or discards them at will when a new managing team comes in to take over the company.  The important thing to remember is, they have free lunches and dinners, and if anything, at least they had fun on the job for a few dollars and cents with free meals along the way, however length of time they choose to stay there, or until terminated by new management. A new crew is brought in and a new look is seen.
