Small businesses relying on holiday trading to top up their coffers after a challenging year are hopping mad after an issue with payment devices provided by Tyro has seen as many as 10,000 eftpos terminals locked for the past six days.
With a forecast top of 36 degrees on Monday, the failure of the machines could not come at a worse time for the Point Lonsdale Newsagency, which is on Victoria s Bellarine Peninsula and sells everything from the daily papers to buckets and spades.
Karen Barker, of the Point Lonsdale Newsagency, says her business is losing thousands every day.
