Not exactly. (In the US) It used to be that a store could offer a "discount" for using cash but not a "fee" for using credit/debit. The most common example is gas stations-many have been doing this forever.
However starting in 2013 merchants can now charge a processing/convenience fee. This came about as per of a class action lawsuit I believe. There are still several state and municipal laws and nuances to consider though.
