“Surcharge” = extra cost. Some businesses charge extra costs, for whatever reasons. In this case, typically the argument is that with a debit card (or cash) they get the money right away, straight from your bank, whereas with a credit card you CAN call your credit-card and dispute the charges (say that it wasn’t you or that you didn’t receive what you paid for), and the barber shop would get “un”-paid. So they charge $2 for the “extra risk”.
