Yes, this is the part I was referring to that one should just avoid haggling and getting into an lengthy argument with them about DCC.
In instances like that, rather than waste your precious time arguing with them or taking more of your precious time to write that whole sentence out (which adds to more time and more blah-blah-blahs as you're writing it), you might as well just whip out a pocket sized stamp that says "DCC refused & merchant did not offer a choice" and get going on your merry way.
I think every FTer should have one as their necessary tools for international travel. Maybe we can ask the manufacturer to produce one that says this in mass quantities and sell it on the
FT store?
