Others have already mentioned that the credit card surcharge is something that the customer has control over. But in regards to the other fees:
> Why not add on an additional fee for every other thing like, fuel surcharge on delivery costs, employee surcharges (I don't live in a place where tipping is expected), or even energy surcharges?
A lot of companies already do this. As long as those fees are mentioned somewhere before purchasing, it's legal here:

California banned all these surprise fees, and then the restaurant industry got their own exemption:

As a consumer, I find add-ons fees extremely annoying.
What does Europe do here? They at least add tax into the list price which the US can’t seem to do because reasons.
