[how many of you think BofA stands for "Bunch of A**h*****?]

>the merchant bank usually charges a "small" surcharge

small?  Small?  SMALL???!!  A local merchant griped to me that the charges on
Visa had just gone up, again--to 8% (that's right, eight percent, roughly
one-twelvth of the purchase, larger than some folks's profit margins.)  The 
icing on the cake is that he can't even say no to this outrage, because he'll
lose customers.  Ain' t BofA great?  He said Mastercard only takes 4%.
