Actually, at least here in Wisconsin, it's illegal to charge more to use a credit card. One can offer a discount for cash, but can not increase the price for using a card.
Yes, many places do it, but it remains illegal.
Typically, a card costs the retailer accepting it about 2%. To me, it's part of the cost of doing business - just like heating the building, etc.
And, like heating the building, etc. the cost (about 2%) is added somewhere in to my sale prices.
