In Spain you are given full control of the POS terminal so tapping 'EUR' instead of 'USD' was never a problem. At checkout in the aloft I probably was not tapping the screen hard enough to the agent said 'you want Euro, right?' When I nodded vigorously she said 'this USD stuff is cheating, never ever accept it'
It's a total scam. This should be banned!
