The merchant agreements that they have with the credit card companies generally prohibit them from charging extra for the use of the credit card. However, some places offer a "discount" for cash, which works out to essentially the same thing, and while it's becoming less common than it was a few years ago, some merchants do charge a "transaction fee" for using a debit card (they are required to notify you of this; the notification generally takes the form of a sign or sticker on the unit you swipe your card through).
