This actually happens in Australia. Because AmEx charges an extra 1.75% to businesses, stores display a warning at checkout that using an AmEx card will incur an extra fee of 1.75%.
Edit: Here's an example graphic from the Australian Government website, explaining that it's illegal for a business to charge more than what it costs them:

- RandoHolmes 6y agoApple isn't passing the extra fee onto the customer, neither is FB. I understand your point, but it's not applicable here.
- amaccuish 6y agoI think you're confused because Apple is acting as a payment processor (even though there is another one for the card) and as a marketplace.
- RandoHolmes 6y agoIs your argument that apple is passing off the extra 30% fee to the consumer? If not then what you just said is bullshit.
