they think of maryland trying to face the minimum wage. i think it's a great idea. i feel like the local economy would benefit the increase. shannon moscow wits said that everything else will go up

the credit card. merchants have to pay a processing fee to accept visa and mastercard. starting now, they allowed to pass that fee on to you and not every merchant will do so. the fee is capped at for% and it doesn't apply to debit cards. this is coming from an antitrust settlement. and we getting more information from sally greenburg, the executive director of the national consumers look. the thing we don't know is how many merchants are going to pass along what is called an interchange fee. every time you swipe the card, the merchant is paying a feedback to the credit card company. we don't know how many muchants are going to be charging people that fee and that is's thinking it might be some of the smaller merchants and may not be too good for the business. they're thinking twice about whether they want to pass that fee along. >> it could, obviously, potentially turn a couple away. >> that's right. and there is certain things the couples canco -- can do. first of all, you're supposed to the be warned ahead of time if you're going to be charged a fee. >> and you're supposed to be warned verbally? >> there has to be a seen there. >> i see. >> and there should be a very broad warning there that -- that we're passing back the interchange. you can do several things. one, you can ask and i will always ask in the future whether i am going to be charged the interchange fee. secondly, pay in cash in which case there is no fee and that is hard if you're buying a big ticket item obvious. >> sure. >> and you can pay with a debit card. if you're going to be charged the fee. again, very important. ask up front. we don't know how many merchants are going to be charging that back to the consumer. and so you can pay with the prepaid card. there is -- or a check. >> uh-huh. >> and there are things can you do as a consumer to protect yourself from having to pay the fee. >> is the fee legal in all states? >> well, you were the settle minute, it's legal unless the -- settlement, it's legal unless the state said it's not legal to pass back the fees. in maryland, there is no law saying they can't pass the fees along. ten states passed laws saying you can't pass that fee along to consumers. >> can we as consumers do anything to try to stop a retailer from charging this fee if they are? >> if the practice is they're charging the fee, can you say i object to it and don't think it's fair. you never charged me this fee before because it's legal now doesn't make it right and go to the legislature and say, you know, we think it shouldn't be allowed to pass that fee along. merchants are getting certain protections come they have credit cards, you know, it's better than a check because a check, when you get a check as a merchant, it could bounce. you're getting protections when you use the credit card and the merchant is driving protections from that and that is where they're paying the fees. sometimes, you know, they're arguing the fees are too high. we can't afford them and have to pass them to the consumer. there are things the consumers can do. >> certainly, voting with your wallet makes a message loud and clear. >> yeah. >> to a retailer. >> thank you for being with us tonight. >> thank you. >> appreciate it. >> still ahead, a virginia lawmaker is getting some praise tonight for coming to the help of a driver in need. and a
