JB Hi-Fi at Westfield Sydney
A friend purchased a cable for A$25.95, and the offer came up with an exchange rate (from memory) of 0.7961 USD/AUD. The current MasterCard exchange rate is 0.7668, so it represented around a 3.8% markup. It would have been about A$1.00 in this case.
Fortunately the cashier handed the terminal to us. I watched it like a hawk and intercepted when the prompt came up, saving my friend from DCC. (He was ready to press yes.) The acquirer is ANZ.

This was another ANZ terminal. I didn't get a look at the rate as I was making sure the cashier pressed the correct buttons (CLR to decline DCC). I avoided DCC without any hassle.
ANZ's implementation doesn't allow one to see the rate post facto either since the pending amount is the non-DCC amount if one declines.
