Just got hit with my first DCC in years. Wasn't paying attention. Luckily it was only 3% (a few dollars) of a small restaurant bill in Sorrento, Italy.

After tapping my credit card, the waiter said "American"? I stupidly assumed he was asking me if this was an American card, but what he really meant was "US Dollars"? Good reminder lesson to pay more attention when traveling. Hasn't happened in so long I wasn't on my guard. Can't believe this hasn't been outlawed yet. I hate DCC worse than the spam calls offering extended warranty on a car I don't own
