Merchants do here in Australia.

Visa and MasterCard previously forbade surcharges, until that was ruled monopolistic in a court.

I feel if the card processor is charging the merchant a fee, its only fair to pass that on to card buyers, so that cash buyers don't have to pay the extra for a service they're not using.

interestingly it is technically illegal ti charge for card use in malaysia
