Unlikely to pass. No waiter/server/bartender I’ve spoken to actually wants this. They all make way more than $15/hr anyway.

- toomuchtodo 2y ago> Massachusetts would be joining eight states that require – or are on their way to requiring – the full minimum wage for tipped workers: Alaska, California, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Michigan. Two major cities, Chicago and Washington, D.C., have similar measures on their books, too. I don’t think your methodology of polling is accurate vs a preponderance of the data with regards to who is harmed by maintaining tipped subminimum wage and therefore majority voting intent. It’s not uncommon for a minority to do well in a suboptimal socioeconomic policy configuration, but that doesn’t justify maintaining it. If it doesn’t pass this election cycle, you just keep running it every election as the electorate continues to turn over as time passes.
