It all adds up. Lets say a company like IKEA who has like 20 tills and lets day that half of them get that 4 cents a minute. That would add up to $288 a day and roughly a $100,000 dollars a year. Obvisouly this a maximum type of senario and unlikely.

I basically don't like giving my money away to companies for nothing.
