I advised based on my Maldives experience with this same giant squid I believe (2) was the case.

Whilst it has not pursued a total relapse of its 2011 state
We were wrong. Clear simply voids the transaction. The experienced hongkongcard.comer tried pressing clear during the pause in another purchase and the screen shows the transaction is voided at that point (no slip is printed).

The manager aped the cashier for letting the hongkongcard.comer void a transaction and in order to avoid further trouble for the cashier the hongkongcard.comer paid cash to settle his bill. There appears to be no way to avoid DCC on Global Payment Taiwan terminals now.
