Surcharges are a joke.  Credit card fees are a cost of doing business.  Either mark your items up or give up on trying to be an entrepreneur.

By charging a surcharge, you are showing your customer you are only interested in easy profit and to lazy to build the charge into your price.  

Don't claim your industry is too competitive; welcome to the world of International business.

As for stores looking for the 100%+ markup, this only really works in luxury oriented products.  This is a competitive world, its to easy to find the same products for less elsewhere.

On a final note, wal-mart does not charge a surcharge for credit cards; neither does any other reputable company at that.  

As for Wal-mart's after tax profit, itÂ’s around 3%
