Credit card surcharges are often (always?) against the merchant agreement the 
vendor signs to have the privilege of accepting plastic.  Report the vendor to 
VISA or MasterCard, and they can tell you if they care or not.  When I had a 
merchant account, VISA was VERY clear that I was NOT to impose a surcharge.  
They also did not want to see "cash discount" in my ads.
