One of my coworkers got charged extra by a restaurant ... which claims that the charge was "automatically added" by VISA, not by the restaurant. She had used a VISA check card to pay for a meal, and $25 surcharge of some variety or another was added onto the card. She HAD signed for a decent tip amount, incidentally. She keeps on top of the bank balance (consequent to a husband who makes ATM withdrawals without providing her the receipts) and saw the different amount and immediately contacted the restaurant. They checked the receipts for the evening and confirmed that the card was put through for the amount shown on the receipt she had in hand. The restaurant owner told her that it was VISA that initiated the additional charges.
Sounds fishy to me.
