Oh, sure. If you insist and wait for the charge, you will get
it. But some customers, particularly tourists, give in and
renounce the change, and that's what the trader is hoping for.

If it is dishonorable, it must at least be deniable. There are
some fine lines in the behavioral code that aren't usually
crossed.
