The surcharges seem to be popping up more and more these days. I don't like the practice at all though I'm also not going to start carrying cash. It seems like a convenient way for a business to increase their prices without taking responsibility for it - "we can't help it, accepting credit cards is just too expensive."

Back in 2015 the fees for our total monthly bill were 2.5% of the total. I have no idea what the fees are today though I'm skeptical that they have increased 50%.
