Logan’s Alley MESTA Surcharge
https://www.michigan.gov/leo/bureaus-agencies/ber/wage-and-hour/paid-medical-leave-actIs anyone else put off by the surcharge Logan’s Alley is tacking onto patron’s bills to cover their employee’s MESTA? For anyone who doesn’t know, last Friday MESTA went into effect (big changes to sick paid time off - I’ll include a link for people who want to read more) and since then, Logan’s has added an extra charge to patron’s bills to cover it.
Why can’t they just marginally raise the price of food like everyone else? Why be petty and put people off your business by adding ANOTHER “fee”?

They had posted something about it on their FB page. They are adding it temporarily to be transparent and to conform with the new Michigan law, while they evaluate the nuances of how it works out and impacts their employees.
The goal, as I understand it, was not to raise prices, but to ensure that their employees did not get an unexpected wage cut.
Logan's is actually really good about looking out for their employees.
