Perhaps dispute the additional charge with the credit card company and see where that gets you. If it's legal, at least they will be able to tell you how/why given the Florida statute that is 'not being enforced'.

Like telling a fat person that they are not fat. Their clothes are just too small.

The other related issue is the third party tip processors.
For example if you want to tip your hair dresser by credit card, the establishment runs your card through "tippy".....a third party processor. Tippy then charges 45 cents per transaction plus 2.5% of the total amount, against your card. Hence the hair dresser does not pay the usual credit card transaction.....you do!! Check the amount before you sign. |

I have to pay my hair dresser an extra $5 if I use a credit or debit card. She owns the business. Another way of saying “I prefer cash” ?

Not for using a credit card.
Using a credit card to specifically pay the tip. |

I’m willing to bet most businesses, especially restaurants, have these credit card fees already built into their prices so now they are just charging us double.

We went to Mom & Dads restaurant several months back. I went to pay the bill after the meal with a CC to find out after they rang it up that they added a surcharge…wasn’t aware of that. I did pay the bill but it should’ve been noted before they ran the CC.

Also, most credit card companies contractually demand that merchants are not permitted to add an charge extra fee when accepting their card. This is largely ignored and difficult or impossible for a bank to enforce.
And, even if it is/was illegal to charge extra for accepting a credit card, all the merchant has to do is raise prices 3.75% and offer a "cash discount". Businesses have been doing that for many years to get around merchant contract restrictions. You've all seen cash / credit prices at gas stations, right? I agree with those that only pay cash at restaurants. No restaurant has ever seen my credit card. Ditto at any business where the card leaves my possession. Quote:
