 I recently read an opinion page in USA Today about new
 legislation that allows businesses to charge an extra
 percentage (penalty ??) for consumers buying with credit
 cards. I feel that is attrocious.

 Imagine the amount one would have to carry for a weekend
 in Florida ?? ('Quote from USA Today') seems to explain
 it quite well.

 Personally, I would never patronize any business that
 charges extra for credit card purchases. The annual
 membership fees for MC, Visa and AmEx are bad enough.
