I understand when a vendor passes along the costs of using a credit card and don't really have a problem with that. But if they were to make that the only method and then try to pass the costs along it would be a problem.

Anything more than a few cents(unless it's a extreme rewards card) is just an excuse to screw the customer for profit.

The average credit card processing fee is 1.5% - 2.9% for an in-person swiped transaction and 3.5% for an online transaction

I don't, it's the cost of doing business. If you don't want to accept cards, you don't have to. But you will have an unhappy customer base as a result.
