Then what about a toilet cleaning fee? If you as a customer used the toilet during your shop visit, then you get charged a toilet cleaning fee on top of your transaction.

To me, surcharges should not be allowed. The sticker price the customer sees when they decide to buy ought to be the price. This makes comparisons much easier, and enables more competitive pricing.

So you want everything to be labeled with a cash price and a visa price and Mastercard price and discover price and Amex price? Labeling it with just the cash price seems fine, you can go to an atm and get cash if you don’t like the surcharge.

		> labeled with a cash price and a visa price and Mastercard price and discover price and Amex price? of course not. That's absurd. I want a single price, regardless of my choice of method of payment. The cost should be built-in to the price. If the cost of providing one type of payment method is too high, i want the business to take out out to make their price more competitive (balanced with the amount of people unwilling to shop there without said payment method). Merchants and payment providers compete to provide payment methods at as competitive rates as possible, because they needs to compete with cash handling (which isn't hard at all), and the consumer doesn't think about "cost of payment method" - they merely need to think about the cost of the item displayed.
