When withdrawing in a local currency other than Euro I usually figure out the amount I want to withdraw before I get to the ATM, that way all my attention is focused on avoiding DCC and getting as close to the desired amount as possible. Hate it when the machine times out while my brain cogs are struggling to keep up.
