I saw a third kind of terminal after lunch. It works more like ATM that you must decline.
The basic rule is don't select default (1, green or accept), decline (2, red, decline) if you are not sure.

I don't think the terminal would make a difference because it's the same menu and you still need to select the currency.
ATMs in this city don't accept my card, not even Bradesco ATM. I never saw the USD menu came up there because practically there was no foreigner.

In a way it seems like customer profiling to me. I am sure the CARD when entered informs them as to which currency (country) the card was issued in. If they are doing prior to CARD entry, then only by speaking or asking for an English menu would they have a slight clue as to your origins.
1. I am sure there are US Born Brazilians (with US passports) with US Based credit cards, who speak perfect Portuguese, would the waiter/establishment change the credit card terminal (like your experiencing) as well??
2. Are they doing this to Canadians, Europeans, Asians, and etc. who have their respective country Credit/Debit Cards.
3. Are you using a Debit Card or Credit Card for these transactions/purchases?
4. Have you discussed this with your Debit Card or Credit Card issuer to get their input on this practice?

Posts: 2951LOL, It's getting out of hand in SP.
This morning I saw the USD menu came up on the credit card terminal while paying for breakfast, I immediately put up my hands and say don't move so the waitress did not touch the machine. LOL. I laughed because I over reacted. Haha.
Tonight I tried to pretend I am calm when I saw the USD menu again when paying for dinner. The waitress hand was so fast that she just hit Accept before I realized what was going on. Then I saw the USD 35 notification on my phone. I googled the conversion and showed the waitress the BRL amount and the amount on the bill. She understood and called the accountant or manager for a refund, and selected 2 to charge in BRL this time. It came thru as 30 USD.

This is the translation of the beginning part of a Brazilian song, I think by POCAH. I found it on Apple Music but you should be able to find it on Youtube. Let me know if you are thinking what I am thinking.
