While the DCC amount is held in this case, as others have pointed out, the transaction will post without DCC.

You have to worry when you get final receipts with: [ ]HKD [ ]USD and nothing checked (such as carbon copy slips), [X]USD checked, or DCC verbiage with a USD amount/exchange rate included on the receipt. For instance, percysmith and I ate at Greyhound Cafe on Saturday night, and we were presented with the carbon copy charge slip. If you tick [X]HKD AMOUNT, nothing will happen. There is no cashier interaction with the terminal regarding currency selection after running the transaction.
I know I must sound like a fool, but what is the difference between a thermal and carbon slip? Is the carbon one just given after the transaction?
