Yep, some restaurants added a cc surcharge during the pandemic, and none seem to have done away with them. I've watched customers pay at the POS, and pretty much no one seems to realize that the fee is assessed (and the employees don't mention it).

This also really annoys me. Sometimes that fee is up to 4%, and I've seen corner stores that literally only disclosed it on a tiny sticker at the front door – not near or on the POS, not on the receipt (which you usually don't get by default).

I think at one point I've even seen 4% cash discount and 4% card surcharge in the same place. And I doubt that even the most expensive payment service provider out there charges the merchant anything close to 4% for card processing.

Yeah, I understand cc minimums (usually $5, but sometimes $10), but the hidden fees bug me.
