No real law against it but the merchant can get in hot water with the CC company if someone reports them to the CC company.

almost every place in town does it now - the credit card banks are sticking it to 'em on fees now that congress won't let them ream out the poor consumer any more...
- cut off is usually $5, sometimes $10
I would never report them - I care a lot more about my local merchants than the giant banks, rolling in the dough.
