I know this is after the fact, but in such a case I would ask the merchant to void the transaction. If the merchant refused, I'd indicate on the receipt and/or file a chargeback.
Now that international travel is picking up again we have to be vigilant for DCC for the first time in up to two years.
Right, they were holding the terminal... and I wasn't paying close enough attention. It was just a solo dinner, and the DCC ended up costing me $3-$4. So I'll just let it go. I nailed the merchant with a 1* google review. But it's a wake up call to me to remember to stay vigilant.
