From your bank in person, no. From your bank's own ATM, no. From an ATM run by another bank out of network, yes, there are often fees and your bank will waive them under certain circumstances.

If it’s run by another bank out of network, your bank cannot waive them. The fees are set by the owner of the ATM and that fee goes to them.

Your bank can just cover/refund the fees for you.

Yes, I understand that, since obviously they're two separate entities. Often banks themselves have a fee, which they waive. Then they reimburse the fee the other party charged.

Not if you withdraw from a store. I forgot the exact term. Just grab a drink or snack and select the withdraw amount on the card reader.

Yes. Technically paid extra but at least I get something back. Not ideal but better than using an ATM and risk a out of network fee.

that's true, there's no fee withdrawing money at a debit point of sale.
