I noticed the same. Most stores do not make it clear what you will be charged until you have put the card into the chip and PIN device. There tend to be different fees for domestic Visa/MasterCard than foreign cards. Dankort always seems to be free to use.
Interestingly none of the fast food chains appear to have a surcharge.
