Grace McGovern, a bartender in Boston, highlights the ongoing struggle faced by tipped workers, sharing how patron behavior impacts their income and well-being.
McGovern argues for a referendum, stating that raising the tipped wage to the standard minimum wage would help reduce dependency on unpredictable tips from customers.
Opponents of the Massachusetts ballot measure, including some restaurant owners and servers, express concerns that raising the tipped wage could harm their financial stability.
The upcoming ballot measures in multiple states underscore a significant debate about wages and the treatment of tipped workers across the United States.
