The legal side of card fees in Anaheim
Anaheim businesses follow California law: the Attorney General generally applies Italian Colors to the old surcharge ban, and SB 478 requires any mandatory fee to be in the advertised price, which matters for resort-area hotels and restaurants.

Which pricing suits resort-district hotels?
Resort-area hotels and restaurants with international cards benefit from interchange-plus that lists cross-border fees. Any resort-style mandatory fee must be in the advertised price under SB 478. Little Arabia bakeries and markets with small tickets need low per-transaction fees.
