At least they are transparent. Could easily hide it in prices on all items
It's definitely better than the common occurrence of being charged a completely different value to what the person verbally tells you will be charged.
I would like the eftpos terminal to say the real amount being charged.
Would it be hiding if they did that? Having a mandatory surcharge seems rather worse, since they're basically pretending that their prices are lower than they actually are, and chucking a surcharge on after the fact.
