In the UK, a majority of bars and corner shops will have a 50p charge for card use below a certain threshold or even refuse to take payment.

In the past I've just offered hesitant merchants 50 cents extra. Probably only works when the merchant also owns the business though.

They do, but they shouldn't. Both MasterCard and VISA explicitly prohibit this practice in their terms.
