Back to post #69; where ever did this whole idea of Charge a merchant to accept payment of merchindise come from anyway?
I wonder just how much PayPal, Visa, etc make by allowing stores to accept payment from the store's customer?
I wonder how much cheaper things could be if stores didn't have to pay a fee to accept their customer's cash??

What ever happened to the good ol' days of "Hello Mr. Merchant, I'd like that one on the shelf please and here's my cash of which you only have to charge me sales tax but NOT CC/PP tax."

"PeePee tax"?? OMG! Now we gotta pay to do that too?!?!?
