You’re not alone. I just paid for something that added a 3% convenience fee for paying with a card. I don’t see it frequently but the behavior is out there.
Otherwise I think the incentive point is exactly right. My town allows you to pay for parking with a mobile app and CC. I’m sometimes charging a dollar total to the card for parking. Not much left for the town after the fees. But I always have my phone and can pay vs carrying cash or coins to pay.
My guess is the town makes more overall in parking fees because of that app
