I talked to a cab driver in Boston, and he's not very happy with

And that's why credit cards are so evil. I understand there are often
provisions that sellers can't charge a premium for credit card payments to
make up for the commission so in places where creditcards are common EVERYONE
pays more because of credit card commissions.
While there might be special rules for taxis and while in the USA most
credit card merchant agreements prohibit adding a surcharge for using
a credit card, they do not prohibit giving a discount for cash.
