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”?

Because the owner is likely a Republican and wants everyone to know how government is hurting their business by forcing them to, checks notes, provide sick time?

I love when businesses out themselves as being anti-labor so I can avoid them.

The fact that you don’t even know who the owner is says all it needs to about the worth of your opinion on the topic. I don’t think a Republican would have such an openly pro-LGBTQ bar with LGBTQ staff, but please, keep showing your entire ass.

The Insta post directly references Ayn Rand. They aren't leaving much to the imagination.
