I love in Massachusetts, servers and voters made sure they will never earn a living wage lol.
🤬 all these 🤬s:
Ending the tip credit (where employers can pay less than min wage as long as your tips put you at or above min wage) would remove one of the biggest sources of wage theft in America.
I personally was a victim of this when I was a teenager. I worked at a shitty diner for $2.13 an hour and I didn't know my employer had to make sure I was making at least $6 an hour or whatever (it was a couple decades ago)
I am currently a tipped employees and I support ending the tip credit (I don't live in Massachusetts tho).
Honestly tipping is a dated practice. It should end. Removing the tip credit won't kill it though. It'll just help protect the vulnerable.
Amazing how it can simultaneously make it more expensive for consumers and lower wages for workers. Where's that extra money they'd charge be going??
