Could be different in different locations. In the location I live in the part I made bold has to be worded as using cash gives you a discount from the normal price. It is illegal to charge more than the normal price for using a card.
Several places I know have a minimum amount for using a card. It is also why most things cheap are now expensive. Too many people buying a $.75 candy bar or soda and nothing else using a card. The store would actually lose money on those transactions so now $.75 items are $2.
