Well I got a canned response back from Visa that merchants CAN charge a fee now to use credit cards. It was part of a years long settlement of a class action lawsuit.

I will keep one credit card for the convenience but I told Visa exactly why I was canceling the others and they asked if they could report that (I don't care) and the rep said they have had a lot of people complaining about it and are tracking that specific reason.

Simple fix, use cash or don't frequent the establishments that charge. The BS part is not being told of the charge and like Sammy, the prices were clearly stated and there wasn't a charge anywhere.
