[net.consumers] Credit Surcharge

***************
I am against the idea of forcing cash buyers to subsidize the credit
purchasers.  The choice should be left to the merchant and the consumer.

If a merchant wishes to pass his savings on to cash customers or ask for
payment for extra costs of doing business that is his right and any
legislation forbidding it is restraint of trade.  When I use my VISA card
the cost of that convenience should be completely bundled into that
purchase and the annual fee, subsidy from other sales or other customers
should not be required.
