Glad to hear that surcharge has been banned. Copenhagen was the only place I've seen it on restaurant menus, although I have seen it on hotel info in other countries (I believe it was Germany and Belgium both where we were encouraged to pay cash for a discounted rate).
I just hope places didn't raise prices to compensate.
