In LPM restaurant in Abu Dhabi they’re pushing payment via a QR code delivered to the table using “qlub” (never heard of it).

I tried to pay, as it clearly listed the bill in AED, via the QR code using Apple Pay. Luckily for whatever reason the payment was rejected, but it forced DCC, saying “your payment in GB£ has been rejected, please try again.”

I then paid using a normal hand held terminal which offered a choice of AED or GB£. AED selected of course.
