I can give discounts to customers however I want to, thank you. As long as the customer knows what card they are going to use, they know exactly what the cost will be. I am all for posting sales tax rates as well as any transaction processing fees at the door, too, though.

No thanks, I’m just gonna go to the grocery store down the street where they don’t make me do linear algebra just to buy a box of Froot Loops.

I'm guessing you never eat at any restaurants either since calculating a percentage is about as hard as linear algebra for you?
Everything else being equal, given the choice between a restaurant that makes me calculate a tip and one that just puts a single price on the menu with no tip required or expected, I’m going for the simpler option. One less thing I have to worry about.
Besides, I honestly would be sort of annoyed that you insist on making your dissatisfaction with your credit card processor my problem as a customer. I have my own problems to worry about, don’t make my saving 1-4% on groceries vs. 2-3% cash back on my credit card another thing I have to deal with. I’ve stopped shopping at certain grocery stores over less.
