Which could be both good and bad. Kingsbury explains that if a person is a waiter on a busy night they could exceed the minimum wage that they earn from tips, however the down side is that if they work on a slow day or night they may not come close to the minimum wage that they should earn. In this article she acknowledges this problem and gives solutions that other states have adopted. She also notices the difference in working conditions and pay between women and men. She uses many facts throughout the article to further backup her point so that people cannot argue with the fact that restaurant workers make less than minimum wage. This could also be added onto statistics which makes her point clearer and more persuasive. The overall effectiveness of this article would be good. It gave clear facts and statistics which are hard to prove false and persuades the reader to believe something can be done and should be done.
