Downtown Hilo — Local services in Hawaii

At the farmers market there is a stand with an lady selling coconut 🥥 and drinks, do not and I mean do not buy the drinks. She sold us her “homemade” mango papaya drinks on plastic cups they were good however later after we have walked around other stands my husband looked back at the lady she pulled DIRTY cups from the trash! Rinsed them with DIRTY water and reused them again to sell them to other people !!! This is a serious health risk !! When he told us this we looked around her stand and when we didn’t noticed before we saw how dirty her stand was around her trash everywhere. She was cutting coconut 🥥 she was removing the “coconut meat (the white part” to put them in white bags to sell them when one fell into the floor where all her trash is and she picked it up and put it in the bag! We are now sick...
