Charging customers extra for using a credit card may not be breaking the law, but it is breaking policies between businesses and the credit card companies. Using a hidden camera, KATU News visited local businesses to show them charging fees that could get them in trouble.
At Hollywood Market, we went inside in search of a snack. With some M&Ms and Reese's Pieces in hand, we approached the counter and were confronted with a common problem. The cashier pointed to a sign and told us because our purchase was under $15, we must pay extra - another 35 cents just for using a credit card.
It is a common frustration.
