Yes. It's called a convenience fee. Retailers that accept credit cards themselves incur either a charge for each card transaction or they pay a flat amount for unlimited transactions. It's an operating cost that is perfectly legal to divide and distribute among those who utilize the service. Manufacturers and retailers also frequently pass operating costs and other various expenses onto the consumer, but they are hidden in the price. With credit cards, it's nearly impossible to hide that fee in the price of whatever you're buying, because your total increases only after you pull out your credit card. eeee
