Surcharges for using cash or cards

Just wondering if anyone is experiencing being told there is now a surcharge for using cash? On a few occasions, I’ve bought a coffee, handed over the cost (say $4) and then told its actually $4.10 because of a cash surcharge - but no sign displayed regarding that. As far as I am aware (and according to ACCC), businesses must accept at least one form of payment that does not incur a surcharge. So … who’s correct? The businesses starting to do this or the ACCC?
