Yeah, many people fall for the trap. It's a natural tendency to go with what you're familiar with, so if you're staring at the option of $7.83 for a burger and fries you're likely to accept thinking that it's a reasonable price. I suspect that 90% of people who are faced with DCC accept it without even realizing what it was or that they just got surcharged.
