SOME shops offer a notional option of conversion by VISA or 
conversion by them BUT they actually don't give you the VISA 
option AND they give you a paper to sign that says that you 
were given the choice. Some Australian businesses do this - 
including some in the airport. It's robbery, but their rates 
are not much different than VISA's so I guess VISA's are 
robbery too ;-).
