Small business budget wish list: level the field on credit card fees

Giancarlo Trimarchi is used to his bigger competitors paying less for fruits and vegetables.

The owner of Vince’s Market, however, is frustrated that they’re also paying a lower rate for credit card transaction fees.

“If I’m buying apples, and I’ve only got to get two cases from you and the big guy’s going to order two trailer loads, I get it. He’s going to get a better price,” said Trimarchi, whose four-store family-run mini chain began as an open-air produce stand in Sharon, Ont.

That principle shouldn’t, says Trimarchi, apply to interchange fees — the cut of every credit card
