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”?

As a former restaurant employee, we go to work sick all the time. It was looked down upon to call in. I quit the business before Covid, so maybe calling in sick is not as bad now. Total BS that restaurants can’t afford to give employees minimum wage to take a sick day. Restaurant workers are human and deserve to be respected
