I hate -- HATE -- the fees for using ATMs, but this is really none of the government's business. Banks are free to charge any exhorbitant fees they want, and consumers are free to choose not to pay them. If you don't want to get dinged with the fee, use your own bank's machines. It's not like you have to pay $4.00 at one of those expensive ATMs they have in bars and such; plan ahead and stop at your own bank for cash if you're going out for a night of drinking.
