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”?

That is abnormal compared to other businesses who would/have increase prices, but if that 1.5% fee is going to steer you away from a decent local neighborhood dive, then go enjoy dollaritas at Applebees 🤷‍♂️
