    for both the customer and the bank/cc company.... And the business gets
    the customer's business even if it does cost them something....
    Actually, its not costing a lot of companies anything, since those expected charges are passed along to the consumer.

    Depends on the business... I know of a few family owned businesses that
    just decided that they might as well offer the service even though it
    does cost them something, and that don't pass that along to the customer
    in the form of increased cost...

    Its like taxes.
    Some people call on businesses to pay more. But those taxes they
    are "paying" are passed along in higher costs of whatever they are
    selling so the customer is paying the taxes in hidden costs. (A penny here, a penny there on this or that).

    Not always, but often enough... and particularly with the larger
    businesses that probably could have afforded to absorb the cost...
