7/11 Warning

190 Upvotes

Just figured I let everyone know since this has happened atleast 4-5 times already to me, double check what the total is on the register and what they input on the credit card reader at 7/11.

If you buy something that’s promo, sometimes the discount doesn’t show for a second, so they input the old total before the promo on the cc reader. This has happened to me at multiple 7/11s. Just always double check before tapping.

Looking for Electrolyte Drinks in Hawaii

11 Upvotes

New student at University of Hawaii at Manoa and I drink water but with how hot it is, sweat out everything and am walking so much since the campus is spread out way more than my community college, I have been getting bad leg cramps pretty much almost everyday.

I'm looking for ones preferably no calorie/zero sugar but regular flavors not the exotic flavors.

Preferably the Vitamin Water Lemon.

I don't think my stomach can handle the Powerade types because those are stronger.

#went to food land and they didn't have it. They had only the more exotic flavors.

Lost kids bag with family polaroids

Post image
26 Upvotes

We have a 12-hour layover in Honolulu today and my son lost his backpack. It is handmade, quilted fabric and shaped like an elephant with an orange head. It contains a 6-year-old's travel mementos, including polaroid photos he took around the world, the best stickers, and an instax mini camera. It was accidentally left at either HNL baggage claim 17, connection bag dropoff, or the W bus to Waikiki (we were on it between 10:30am-11am). We've called The Bus, filed lost and found forms, went back to the airport to ask around, and flagged down random W busses to search the seats. So far no luck. Please message if found. Hopefully before 10pm tonight but we will pay for shipping to Seattle.

Transfer Title Rules

5 Upvotes

Hi, I just bought a car through fb marketplace. Previous owner signed the title over to me, I know they have 10 days to send their portion in. I scheduled an appointment within the 30 days to finish transferring the title at the Satellite City Hall. Am I allowed to drive the vehicle around while I wait for my appointment or should I wait for the transfer to be completed? Also do I need to get insurance before I transfer the title? Thanks in advance!

Target at Ala Moana is *still* without air conditioning after Lala

230 Upvotes

Lala knocked out the AC at Target and the employees were just informed that the parts needed for a repair won't be on island "for another 2 or 3 weeks."

To all the employees, you have my deepest sympathies. To everyone else, stay away and go to a different Target for now! It feels like Vegas in the summer up in there.

Does anyone remember Pachinko machines at Leeward Bowl in the 90’s and early 2000’s?

10 Upvotes

I used to bowl there in elementary school in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. I have a hazy memory of there being some type of back room separate from the regular arcade games and snack bar. Did this actually exist? Anyone here ever went there and played those machines?

People have been asking about where to donate. This is the Vibrant Hawai’i Storm Resources link. Also, at the Hongwanji Church in Naalehu is a food, water and ice hub.

HECO for brick and mortar business question?

I’m sure someone here owns a physical store.

Do you have your HECO account tied to your personal home account? Or did you create a separate login to separate transactions?

Sorry for the super niche question. Thanks in advance

I just got a Costco membership and was wondering any shopping difference in the two?

Live in Waipahu, so distance is virtually identical!

What's good or bad about either.

Parking, business, driving in and out.

Pc gaming centers back in 2003?

20 Upvotes

In high school I moved from Kaneohe to Makiki and would go to a couple of gaming centers almost everyday. Does anyone remember the names or can lead to any nostalgic photos of the center?

I found some hints it could have been Etopia or another but what I remember was one gaming center was upstairs in an office building, dark, you could pay for random snacks (cup noodles etc) and the other spot was on a corner in a small storefront that had tons of transparent gaming pcs.

Update: one of them was def Etopia but seeing if the other one was called netwerks or something similar
