Are you sure about that?????   Many Small businesses have been doing that as long 
as I can remember.  99.9% of the time it will be called a credit card service fee. 
The credit card companys charge the vendors 4% of all the charges taken in, it's 
only fare to pass that cost on to the consumer if it can't be absorbed by the 
vendor...

This is specifically the reason not all businesses in this city accept any credit 
cards...
