This reminds me of when WalMart tried to force employees to get their pay with a special debit card that was created with a partnership from a CC company. The fees were insane and walmart got to pocket a bunch of the money. yeah, that corrupt shit ended pretty quickly.

>Retail assistants have accused a gig economy firm of “holding them to ransom” by making them pay a fee if they want to receive their wages within a month.
A new payment system brought in by YoungOnes, which supplies “freelance” retail assistants to many well-known high street stores, charges gig workers 4.8% of their earnings to be paid in one minute or 2.9% to be paid in three days. If they decline, they typically have to wait 30 days. Previously the workers were paid in three days, without a charge.
