In the UK this was banned in 2018. The cash price has to be the same as the debit/credit card price, which is not exactly 'freedom'.

In the US a recent change was made in the other direction. Credit card surcharges are much more common now.

I believe it was part of an agreement with the card companies over anti-competitive behavior.
