C: Rosario Macias looks at her manager during her shift at Roam Artisan Burgers on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, in San Francisco, California. Her manager told her she would have to come in for a double shift the next day, meaning she wouldn’t be able to pick up her son from soccer practice.

Rosario says she works to support her son, ensuring he doesn’t grow up the same way she did. She recently got a promotion to floor manager, which is good financially but she says she will be missing out on a lot of quality time with her son, which is a sacrifice she has to make to save money.
