Many small merchants say they’re being gouged by credit card companies
Small businesses aren’t usually in the habit of championing Walmart. But these days, many have nothing but praise for the retail behemoth, which is engaged in a public battle over merchant credit card fees.
“It’s nice that a considerable retail giant like Walmart stands up and says, you know what, enough is enough and we’re just not going to accept it anymore,” says Paul Simmonds, president of Robert Simmonds Clothing in Fredericton.
