I bet you will return the cart though...

In Europe most will give you a branded token if you ask.

Looks like a good balance of avoiding surprise but reducing liklihood for confusion. I.e. avoid questions like what counter do you check in at, whose carry on allowance applies, etc

I've experienced it in the Euro zone with a US Visa card. After the tap is registered it prompts for DCC, I decline and get the double beep translation approved. I don't know what happens if you accept DCC.

Also watch out when the staff takes the payment terminal back immediately after a successful tap but before the approval beep so you (and not them) gets to pick!

I asked Google Gemini which then used their imagen 3 model and it succeeded to draw a map of europe with Germany in purple. Not perfect but perhaps passable.

Aren't programmatic discount levels with savings plans lower than reserved instances? If yes, doesn't this change increase cost when you were otherwise ok to commit to machine and region?
