So, any foreigners who bough stuff at ZRH yesterday and got scammed - you didn't. You scammed back
So for these rare, non-repeatable events the DCC proponents say we're naysayers because they can point to this and say, "See! See! You're locking in the rate." I guess it's good for those currency hedgers out there.
