Is the opt out easy enough? While I'd prefer no DCC at all, I can live with it being present as long as there is a customer initiated or respected opt out.
Yes, the merchant/waiter hands you the machine and you have to click EUR or USD. Problem is, not everyone is aware that clicking USD is such a monetary loss. In fact, many waiters don't really give you a chance to read... they either say EUR or USD for you - and if they announce USD, you have to quickly respond No, EUR please so they don't push that button. Further they surely don't let you read the little conversion description if you agree to USD.
