Needless to say I had to sign to get my companion's boarding pass, but I did not tick the box. Also have picture of receipt.
Of all places, would not have expected in Mexico let alone from an AA Agent!
Did it mention the DCC surcharge? Was it a standard receipt issued on an AA cardstock ticket or a credit card style receipt with the DCC verbiage? I know in certain cases - the arrivals lounge at LHR comes to mind - AA charges in US but it's not DCC. I'm wondering if the same thing happened here?
