Correct. But the law and a follow-up court challenge to it are both very confusing. What's worse is that even the State of Florida charges a fee to use a credit when paying taxes and other fees. But, even if a credit card surcharge is legal, the court said that the surcharge needs to be disclosed and the merchant cannot engage in deceptive practices. In my opinion, adding the surcharge on the check after the customer has already eaten the meal, is deceptive. The restaurant should notify the customers of the surcharge before they order the food. Otherwise, it is illegal.
