Dont blame merchants, blame banks.

We've been eating these fees for years. How do you think we feel when we do a big job or manage a big sale and the customer whips out their Westjet card or whatever to 'get their points' and we immediately lose an additional few percentage points?

You want it to be fair? Either kill points/rewards/loyalty cards entirely or make the advertiser or bank eat the fee rather than the customer or the merchant.
