Like I said we spent a month in France in '22 and never saw it. Spain in '23 it was everywhere. And ATM fees in Spain just blew my mind - some were 7EUR! Not sure I saw any in France (or maybe 1-2 EUR just thought it was ok?)
In 2023, I can't give anyone the benefit of the doubt with a "helpful" DCC opt-in. It's deliberate until proven otherwise.
For ATM fees, I'd suggest getting a card that reimburses ATM operator fees while not charging fees of its own.
