As I understand it, although the House forbid surcharges for credit
card purchases, a new bill is in the works to allow discounts to
cash paying customers.  Apparently it's illegal to penalize consumers
with surcharges.  In some bizarre sense this seems like the legislative
version of DeMorgan's law:  you penalize the cash customers with a
negative surcharge.
