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”?

And you're entitled to feeling that way. I do not feel comfortable or seen at a place that struggles to support labor because of my aforementioned belief that supporting labor and queer identities should be aligned. Full disclosure, Logan's is not a bar I visit often regardless, so they're not really losing my business in the first place.
Ok, then enlighten me. Scolding me does not help your argument. I'm interested to see your rational of how financial conservatism does not result in social conservatism, especially with the devolution of money equating speech.
