I think there is a lot of cultural difference as well. In Ireland, for example, I doubt most people feel much remorse for scamming Britons and Americans with DCC. Same for outsiders in Hong Kong and China. Canada, however, or the UK I doubt would find forced DCC to be nearly to acceptable of a practice. The US, however, is one country where I'd think forcing DCC would be considered downright patriotic "this is Murica and you're gonna pay us the way we want to get ar' 'Murican dollaz"
So I'm surprised it isn't more widespread.
