I have observed this as well, which is ironic considering many American credit cards now feature a 0% foreign transaction fee. It's even worse when someone is using a card with a 3% foreign transaction fee and falls for DCC. While their ignorance costs them, what gets me frustrated is this conditions merchants into opting in people as the default.
