    What actually is the desired result? I figured it’s to remove another barrier to people moving away from cash payments

      Legislators don’t care about people using cash.

      Predictable pricing is better for consumers. There’s nothing worse than additional fees at the register. Some countries got this wrong and figuring out how much something is going to cost is a real mess. Like price plus tip plus tax plus payment fee.
