I am a merchant and it is against the Visa/MC rules to charge a
surcharge.  Some merchants do it thinking that the lower prices will
get more sales. If / when they get caught, they will have there
merchant number taken away and will never get another one. 

If you are to chicken to show the real price, then you should not be
allowed to accept credit cards!

We do not have surcharges. <g>
