> Why would you want to break out the fee into another line-item?

It's not unusual in things like concert ticketing to have a headline price of, say, $30 then when you get to the checkout there's an extra $10 in processing fees and delivery charges. I assume companies think this makes them more money than being up front about the total cost.

> Cash discounts were already legal, and a credit surcharge is just a cash discount by another name.

In one case the customer pays less than the advertised price, in the other case more.
