Of course, I'm a big proponent that the advertised price of anything should be what it costs. It should be illegal to post a price and then charge the customer more, whether it's a rental car or a drink or a pair of shoes. If the price says, "$8", then I should be paying $8. I shouldn't be paying $8.16. The stated price is $8.

The price of tomatoes can fluctuate. The transaction charge on credit card purchases is more or less static as you have a set fee for the duration of your agreement/contract. A little bit different situation there.
