Yeah, I hear ya. Like I once bought some clothes at Koton store (in Turkey). Their terminals are on the cashier's side of the counter, and the girl had to insert my payment card. When I got the receipt, it was in USD with DCC applied. I sure was irritated for a few seconds. But given the crazy prices in TK, it only amounted to USD 0.12. It just wasn't worth delaying my vacation. At this point DCC is not even a deception as everyone knows what's happening. And there are many similar taxes and fees that we likewise pay all the time.
