According to the customer comment, he had been cashing the same check every week for some time now and was confused as to "why" the bank would now charge a fee to cash their own check. When asked, all bank representatives dodged giving a straight answer as to "why" (in my opinion, this "evasive technique" is about the only skill big bank employees are trained in anymore). As I read this somewhere in the last week as a reader comment, I cannot remember what bank it was, but I wouldn't expect that to be the last example of "new" charges being applied.
