Every time I forget about this annoyance, I apply for a shop and then bang my head against the wall, especially when parking at St. Regis is not covered. Yes, once I had few dollars of profit but it was once.
Some years ago, I explained the issue to accounting department. The issue actually was that $10 I lost was a good money where I lived at the time and they reimbursed me the difference. This happened maybe two or three times. I believe that this was just the kindness of this particular Coyle person at accounting dept. I have not asked since; the loss sometimes does not compare to hours spend worrying about it and emailing back and forth.
@Steve: that would hurt and it is unfair. Why do you say locals get the full pay? My husband is local to his country (born, raised, everything) and he gets the same as us, pay in dollars but spends in local currency (cash, and in his case, local CC) I think it depends on local currency rather then being local shopper or not. Thoughts?
Edited to add: different MSC, hotel shop where client reimbuersed directly to CC. I emailed back to client letting them know of a difference and they covered the difference. Sometimes it just depends on the person or client but not the rule nor their responsibility.
