About the only case I'd be concerned about in the US is easy checkout from hotels. In most other parts of the world you go down to the front desk to check out officially, and the receptionist will run your card at that point in time. This happens offline in the US most of the time, and most large chain hotels simply slip the bill under your desk. Your card is charged without having to do anything special.

For restaurants, I would say that the US customer service + tipping culture would result in being able to correct a DCC situation should it occur. (Imagine irate customers not leaving a tip because of DCC. I think management would get the hint from the waitstaff quickly.)
