I'm curious to know, is it legally permissible for businesses to impose a 3% credit card fee on customers? Are there any regulations or guidelines that govern the charging of such fees? I'm interested in understanding the legal implications and whether there are any potential risks associated with this practice. Could you please provide me with some insights and clarity on this matter?
