Hello Jay Harris!

My POS statement describes a plethora of different types of  
credit and debit cards within Visa and Mastercard.  Each type  
has its own %-age fee for use.  And, there are additional  
charges depending on whether someone dips, swipes, or taps with  
a card, and recenty whether someone uses non-card device like a  
smartphone or watch.

So.. I guess the latter answers your question.  The retailer  
ends up paying for everything.
