I wonder if this is a negotiation tactic to get special reduced rates, or if this is the beginning of a deeper experiment, in which grocers (who run on notoriously low margins) are trying to save 2% per almost every transaction.<p>Supposedly, millennials and later generations are very cash adverse, and these interchange fees are adding up to m(b?)illions for these huge companies...
Good luck with that. I live within walking distance of 3 groceries and I can just walk a block further to the store that accepts my card.<p>Edit: the ban only applies to two of their lower market aka discount grocery chains, do this actually makes sense. Most of those customers don't use credit cards in the first place.
