And many places have minimum spends too. My local Indian takeaway is £10 minimum, plus a £1 fee. No good if I'm eating on my own. Local butcher has the same minimum spend, but with a 50p fee.
Then you get pubs who make up odd rules. One in Islington (near King's Cross station) would only take cards for purchases under £5 if they were contactless
