Good point.

It does happen sometimes the person using the terminal will hit USD as opposed to zloty but in this case, the screen appears for literally a split second before you can even hit the red button to zloty.

The chargeback amount will be a dollar but it's the principal. No company should be forcing a poor conversion like this and stating the user has the choice.

Looks like (based on the receipt), it's done by these guys:

Here's a news article (in Polish) about forced Dcc from EService in Poland: https://subiektywnieofinansach.pl/zn...-dcc-terminal/
Videos of EService and their scam in action:

Absolute scum. I wonder how this can even be legal.
