what happens when you walk out with both the merchant copy and the customer copy receipt?

We went to a drive thru for a quick lunch. Gave the teller my debit card. He gave it back to me and asked to pull forward, it will be taken out to us. After a few minutes he came out with our food. This was last Thursday, today is Monday. I was clearing out my purse and saw both the merchant copy receipt and the customer copy receipt. Is the restaurant still able to charge my account for the transaction? Has this ever happened to you? What did you do?

Can I Charge A Customer A Merchant Service Credit Card Fee On Top Of Their Invoice?

Our customers rarely use credit cards as a form of payment. It’s usually a check via mail. But a few do use a Visa or MasterCard once in a blue moon. We are charged 2.75% from our bank for the the total of the credit card purchase. At the time of the credit card transaction can I add the standard percentage on top of the invoice amount? Am I legally allowed to do so? Also, am I legally allowed to markup the 2.75% we are charged on our merchant statement?
