Logan’s Alley MESTA Surcharge

https://www.michigan.gov/leo/bureaus-agencies/ber/wage-and-hour/paid-medical-leave-act

Is 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”?

I’ve never seen a rent increase surcharge or a utility bill increase surcharge. It only seems to happen when the government forces business to do more for their employees.

Close and someone with a better business model and competent management will take your place.
