EDIT: Jody, I just rememdered... it was the Calif State Board of Equalization. They accept debit only or charge you 3% for credit card!
I have seen that in Ohio, Hell we do it when we are working a super thin margin. We don't line item it out as much as increase the price. Making the customer aware that by paying with a credit card we had 3%. Same difference I suppose.
