A server in Hawaii quits her job due to constant questions from diners about the wildfire that devastated the town of Lahaina.
The restaurant where Katie Austin was a server burned in the wildfire that devastated Hawaii 's historic town of Lahaina this summer. Two months later, as travelers began to trickle back to nearby beach resorts, she went to work at a different eatery.
But she soon quit, worn down by constant questions from diners: Was she affected by the fire? Did she know anyone who died? "You’re at work for eight hours and every 15 minutes you have a new stranger ask you about the most traumatic day of your life," Austin said. "It was soul-sucking." Hawaii's governor and mayor invited tourists back to the west side of Maui months after the Aug. 8 fire killed at least 100 people and destroyed more than 2,000 buildings. They wanted the economic boost tourists would bring, particularly heading into the year-end holiday
