This isn't really true for Connecticut, because the law allows for a "cash discount" which is functionality identical.

https://portal.ct.gov/DCP/Legal/Credit-Card-Surcharge

>Connecticut law prohibits a business from charging a customer a surcharge for using one payment type (usually credit card) over another payment type (usually cash). However, the law does allow a business to offer a discount if a customer chooses to use one type of payment (e.g., cash) over another type of payment (e.g., credit card). Receiving the discount is not the same as adding a surcharge. As long as the discount policy is clearly written and presented to the customer and the final receipt shows a discount, it complies with Connecticut law

At least it requires them to be honest about what they're charging, I guess, which is more than I can say about the CT DRS.
