I wonder if there are just few enough foreigners at many local businesses that enabling DCC isn't financially justified?
Surely you went to the good parts of LA

Chicago's city center (I mean the part inside the loop) is quite nice. But just like LA, if you venture out, you can run into every sort of trouble, especially if someone goes south...

NYC on the other hand has more troubles in the center...

Melbourne Airport has DCC, I clearly remember.

London is quite nice that I've only encountered DCC a couple of times.

I doubt if DCC is implemented in the US, there would be any "scam" like practices like one can find in Ireland or China. It's like looking for legal trouble dead-on in a everybody-suits-everybody country...

The info we need to look at might be that how many acquirers there are in the US. For example in Australia, usually the acquirers are those big banks, so the number is limited. But if there are so many acquirers in the market, implementing DCC by one acquirer might not cover that many foreigners.
