I wouldn't mind paying for something that I actually use.
I parked myself.
Tied myself down in an out-of-the-way little corner of asphalt, and was
there for about an hour and half.
$15 would buy me a week of tie-down at Minden.
Besides, as others will verify, they make their money from hangar rentals
and the biz jets.

Actually, I don't even really mind the fee, it was just surprising.
What really gets me is the $3.73/gal.
How can it be $1.00/gal more for fuel at an FBO that undoubtedly has
higher volume than where I get it 30 miles away?
That is the part that is robbery.

Ok.. So.. since you are going to have to pay for it..

Pull up in front like everyone else. Let them chock and park you.

The cost is easier to explain. Thats how they make their money.. Either
buy fuel or buy parking.

And its not robbery.. You can choose not to go there and choose not to buy
their fuel at that price.

How much is the cost of convenience?

When they park you and stuff are you supposed to give a tip?
