I'm fairly sure it's flat out illegal to pass the fees on to the customers, at least in certain cities and states it is. Unless you don't get hardly any business it's always a good idea to take credit cards. I have no problem at all saying that if a business doesn't take a credit or debit card then I wont be a customer there. I simply almost never have any cash on me, no reason other than that. I'm not going to take it out of an ATM in store like some places think it's ok to make customers do, that's just passing the fee on to the customer and doing it in a "legal" way. I'm also not going to go out of my way to make sure I just happen to have cash in hand if I just happen to be going there.
It's nothing personal, but these days places just about have to take a credit/debit card.
The only time I have cash in hand is when it's given to me as a gift and I haven't had a chance to stop by an ATM to deposit it to my account or I know for a fact I'm going somewhere that I know for sure don't take cards, like on my way to a yard sale or a flea market or something like that.
Yep, that's perfectly fine. If you want to do it that way, great, but you can't blatantly post a sign up like some idiots tries to do saying that there will be an added fee just for using a card.

I think if he just raises his prices up 2% in general rather than saying there's a 2% surcharge for CC use, then he is perfectly fine doing it.
