What's the highest card surcharge you've come across?
Some card payments will add an extra 3.03% to your bill at Te Awamutu’s Central Cafe - well over the suggested 2% ceiling.
There’s also a 2.5% credit card and contactless surcharge at another eatery in the town, Red Kitchen, and the Commerce Commission calls both “hard to justify”.

Councillor says he'll go 'rogue' after code of conduct breach
Hamilton city councillors have accepted the findings of a report which determined that fellow councillor Andrew Bydder breached his council’s code of conduct with an expletive-laden submission to Waipā District Council.
Bydder said afterwards he will keep doing what he wants, saying “I’m going rogue”, and that he wouldn’t comply with penalties handed down.
Poll: Do you think the dogs should be able to run free at this garden centre?
A dispute over dogs at a Paeroa garden centre has led to a $300 fine, neighbours honking air horns, spying allegations and questions over whether a business is a “public place”.
Donna Jamieson’s three dogs are her world, and part of the Country Dog Garden Centre experience.
However, various people have complained to Hauraki District Council about barking and off-leash dogs at the business. The council says they can’t be, and recently fined Jamieson $300 for a breach.
Do you think the dogs should be able to run free at this garden centre? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
