One of my clients is a 7 store vitamin & minerals retailer - part of a national franchise.

His fees are about 1.44% for the total of visa, mastercard, discover and debits and about 2.75% for Amex.

The smaller the transaction the larger the fee. National franchises have tremendous negotiating power.

Arnold Palmer is making money on these service fees!
