CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – Bars, restaurants, and hotels across the Lowcountry are struggling to find new employees at the worst possible time. As tourism heats up at a rapid pace; they need more hands on deck.

Hotel Bennett in downtown Charleston held a hiring event on Thursday where they offered $500 sign-on bonus is for every new employee.

Marty Wall, general manager of the hotel, says the tactic worked nicely in their favor.

“10-12 people today. Anything from room attendants, housekeepers, housemen, bartenders, couple management positions, so we feel like it was a big success quite frankly,” says Wall.

Maybe you’ve noticed an adorable, fish-shaped pastry popping up on Insta feeds everywhere. Us too. We’re big fans of taiyaki. In Japanese, that means “cooked sea bream.” This snack, however, has no fish in it. It’s a soft, fluffy waffle shaped like a fish and it can be served solo or stuffed with fillings like red bean paste, Nutella or soft-serve ice cream.

It’s not irrational to find pizza pies for $3.14 this Sunday.

March 14 is Pi Day, the annual celebration of the mathematical constant π (pi), which is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. The trillion-digit ratio is rounded to 3.14.

Albert Einstein was born on Pi Day and noted astrophysicist Stephen Hawking died on the made-up holiday in 2018.
