While I did find two cases of DCC at retail clothing stores, both terminals presented a choice, and opting out was easy. Furthermore, from the cashier pausing, it didn't seem like the cashier had input or even necessarily awareness that DCC was happening. I have a Canadian friend who hasn't seen DCC with his card across hotels (Starwood) and restaurants, and he travels to the US fairly regularly.

Mrs. Majuki has a single non-USD denominated card, but she's not too inclined to use it since the card has no rewards and has a currency exchange fee.
Not "big box" per se but as mentioned before, I think Baskin-Robbins (and maybe Dunkin' Donuts too since they're the same company) does DCC based on the receipts I've seen.

As for restaurants, I doubt they'll ever do DCC thanks to our dislike of pay at the table making performing it per Visa/MC rules impossible (or at least with enough hassle to make it not worthwhile).
