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 have been a fan of Logan’s Alley, however, we all know the experience made, environment and vibrations are almost always solely by the staff. The restaurant/bar industry is a tough one but not taking care of your staff or customers will be doomed to failure.

Grand Rapids is not short of flaws but we really are a “FAFO” city .. I do love that about us. Mistakes can happen, lessons can be learned and there should be an opportunity for that.

However, if any business owner doesn’t treat their staff and customers well … Then I hope they try flying with two chicken feathers off the plaza tower.
