Because it's a redundant, unnecessary, and deceptive money grab. Very few people would agree to this if they knew about it. Last time this happened to me (at the HI CDG), the charge was rung up as USD without my asking. If I weren't running to catch the shuttle, I would have corrected it right there, but I let it slide. Just because I signed it doesn't make it right.
