Charging fees for cg visitors

After reading of the rude treatment of a person in the cg office in this THREAD:
I thought I would bring up the topic of cgs charging fees for visitors who may only come for an hour or less visit or to drop something off. I've never cared for this fees policy and will actually avoid cgs who do this.

How does everyone feel about this kind of fee? (Let's try to be nice even if frustrated).
  • I can see the extra fee if.....the visitor is staying overnight and using facilities. Staying for the day and using pools, hot tubs washrooms, etc.
    But if they are just stopping in for a short visit and not leaving the site they are in I don't see the point.
    Although the campground operator is looking at his water, electric and sewer costs and each extra person in the site could be using these services.
    Most parks do not charge for visitors if they are not staying overnight.
