I think the reason why it's not been highlighted as a problem in the US is the implementations are relatively benign, at least in the retail setting. All stores that I've seen with DCC have customer facing terminals, and the choice clearly appears on the terminal, like the Best Buy example above. The few times I've witnessed it personally, the cashier appeared to have no input on the DCC offer. It's not like some other parts of the world where you know that the cashiers and/or management have a good idea of what's happening yet steer (or worse force) customers into DCC.
