I told the customer that I'd just as soon give him the item for free because his sale was not worth me processing for 65 cents - he said I never carry cash. He ended up adding something to the sale to make it $2.65 which I accepted, but frankly, a $1.00 processing fee on sales below say $5.00 is not a bad thing IMO.
From the article:
The antitrust lawsuit, filed back in 2005, alleges MasterCard and Visa conspired with some of the largest banks in the country to set the swipe fee a merchant must pay every time a customer uses their credit card.
Why not set a $10.00 minimum for plastic? That's permissible under merchant agreements with all major credit cards now.
