You want to make more sales?

Merchant:
I don't want credit cards, fees to high, I lose money.

Card Processing Salesperson:

I can show you a way to cheat the foreign credit card customer so
you pay no fees.

Merchant:

OK, get me a terminal tomorrow and I want a big Visa Mastercard sign for
my window.

Card Processing Salesperson:

Done deal, sign here!^
