Sorry, may not of been absoloutely clear in the original post. The
charge is for paying by card for Oyster... They often charge 80p
for paying by credit/debit card on any transaction that includes an
Oyster part but not on transactions which don't include Oyster.

That's still outrageous. I could perhaps understand him charging a
small fee for processing a credit/debit card transaction (though it's
time that nonsense ceased), but to charge it only if Oyster is involved
is ridiculous.

I expect the profit margin on normal goods is large enough to pay the
credit card merchant fee and leave an acceptable profit, but the
commission for processing an Oyster top-up isn't.
