It is not a free market if people are forced to pay them a fee that they do not want to pay. It's extortion.Gasp! Oh the horrors. A business charges a fee in the free market to make money in exchange for a service that they provide? We absolutely cannot stand for this!Why do you think one of the worlds largest banks/ credit cards is working hard to bribe small businesses to drop cash altogether. Because they make money off the fees they charge for using their card ( visa) .
