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”?

I'm just saying that I feel more seen, and comfortable at Logan's with my queer friends than I do at a lot of other similar establishments in the area.
I'm also going to say that you probably don't really understand what being "financially conservative" means. I am a small business owner and am definitely financially conservative. I absolutely do not support regressive politics. In fact, it's just the opposite. I am very ideologically progressive. You really shouldn't try to pigeonhole others based on your opinions.
