After banning Visa credit card payments at 26 Foods Co stores, US retailer Kroger is now threatening to expand the ban to the main brand, numbering over 2,700 stores. The move comes after a series of protests by angry customers and staff in recent weeks against what they say are unfair fees for using their cards on food purchases. Other major credit cards will remain unaffected, along with Visa debit cards. In a statement, Visa says it is "disappointed" and "remains committed to working with Kroger to reach a reasonable solution". Visa has said it wants to cooperate with Kroger to reach a solution.
