It's not unheard of. Gas sometimes. My car dealer for one. (Whether it's a credit surcharge or a debit discount is semantics.) Though with the cashback on my usual credit card I use for domestic credit card purchases, the difference is pretty much not worth worrying about.
I think it's true for most businesses with single transaction being big enough - car dealerships, child care, rent. On the other hand many of them are not happy with cash either because processing cash also incur fees that are not nesessarily less than credit card fees. Most businesses that prefer to take cash are smaller ones because most likely they won't report it.
