It is improbable but not impossible that KFC is charging this money just to make us pay it. It is more likely that KFC and/or their POS vendor have negotiated a bad deal with their payment processor so the cost is simply passed along to the comsumer. Wendy's, grocery stores, and gas stations obvisouly have a different deal. Certainly the volume at a grocery store or gas station would make it cheap enough to absorb the cost. That is why you don't get charged at other places. I went to a KFC two weeks ago and paid with a debit card (two rare occasions!) and was not charged - so I'm sure the franchisee at the store that charges $0.99 does not expect much business from debit cards in that part of town.
