But you also regularly explain that you will NOT use a credit card in a restaurant. Since all the businesses where I can remember seeing this surcharge are restaurants it could explain why you've not seen it.

But no, it is not a common practice to add a surcharge. It seems to be popping up more frequently but still only fewer than five percent of the restaurants we patronize.
