Labor-activist group One Fair Wage aims to raise tipped workers' minimum wage in Massachusetts to $15 an hour pre-tips, sparking reader debate on the necessity of continuing tipping practices.
Readers are split on whether tipped workers should receive tips in addition to a $15 hourly wage or if tipping should be eliminated entirely, with varying percentages supporting different scenarios.
"It feels unfair that food service workers have to rely on tips to make minimum wage." - Tucker K. from Somerville, reflecting a sentiment shared by supporters of the minimum wage increase for tipped workers.
"I want to tip as a reward for good service, not because I'm literally paying a server's wages." - James from Revere, highlighting the perspective of readers advocating for a higher base wage for servers.
