Va. St parks and pet fee

Fees for pets (and extra vehicles, extra people etc) are used as much as a management tool as a revenue generator. We will soon see posts where people will tell us they will just pass by a park that charges a fee for a pet, or fees for additional people. That is partially what those fees aim to accomplish. Also, fees have been proven time and time again to be a good way to generate additional income. It is taken to the extreme by the "Seen it on TV" industry. "Buy today, get a second one free, just pay shipping and handling!" makes those two sets of Ginsu Knives for $10.00 cost around $40.00. Having $5.00 pet fees and other fees allows the park to keep the advertised price low and still generate more income.
