Credit Card machines.

Howdy.... In Canada, the banks lease out these little pos terminals for using credit cards, debit cards. Only big companies like gas stations can integrate swiping a credit card, debit card within their proprietary systems.
poor little mom and pop shops have to lease card swipe machines and get burned 5% and probably a .25 cent charge / transaction. Deal is that in Canada it's illegal to swipe a card more than once. PayPal charges as little as 2.2% so if you had a pc hooked up to the net... one could offer customers to pay via paypal and pass savings on to their customers. Just my .02
