No, this is NOT a reasonable expectation. Sonic, Whataburger, Wendy's, Taco Cabana all take credit/debit cards and do NOT charge fees. It would be one thing to have them charge a fee but tell you UP FRONT that this is the case. Funny, I've used my credit/debit card at a local Taco Bell/KFC for lunch and I was never charged extra. Then again, I always let them run it as a credit card instead as a debit card. Either way, the customer should be warned up front that there will be an extra charge, not sneakily tacked on once they have your order ready. todd "Steve Wertz" <swertz@texas.net> wrote in message news:3D9F06D8.6D76316C@texas.net... > Bruce Reistle wrote: > > > This "logic" is ridiculous.
