More of a question...

It seems that a lot of places are starting to charge for the use of a debit card in transactions now - but shouldn't they have a notice posted? I've seen one at Del Taco, but recently I was a bit peeved to look at my bank statement and find that I had several transaction charges on there that I didn't know I was going to get.

Do you know if choosing the "credit" option when using the debit card will remove the surcharge?
