As a very frequent cross border traveler, my experiences with DCC in the US have almost exclusively been at large, national retail chains. The TJX chains immediately come to mind as my most recent experience but it happens at others as well. These are all situations where it's easy to decline as the option shows up on the customer facing digital signature pad.
Not to say it doesn't exist, but I don't think I've yet come across DCC at a hotel or restaurant in the US. I do tend to avoid tourist hot spots like Orlando or Times Square, though
