They can do whatever they want!
The way to get around that is, you get a no fee account (if they offer that) and then your check cashing is free. If it is just a one time thing, you can cancel the account when you have completed the transaction.
Some banks will actually give you $50. to $100 for opening an account and leaving it open for 90 days. Check Chase!

I work for Chase as a bank teller, and yes they can charge a fee. Our fees range from $3.00-$7.00. The reason they do this is incentive for you to open an account with us. You will also need to bring in 2 forms of ID and we may ask you for a fingerprint as well. This is all for security puposes. of course if you open an account they run incentives all the time for new and current customers..right now we are giving up to $125 to current customers for referring a friend that opens an account. Check it out- the friend also get $$$ just for opening an account. Free Money--You can't beat it!

Banks can and do charge for just about everything these days, including charging you to have an account with them!

You bet, but usually not more than $1.00 unless the check is for rather large amount. They do this -- obviously -- because they are a bank and in business to make money, but also because they have to put up with bad/fraudulent checks from time to time and it's costly.

Only if you cash it there. Deposit in a bank account at your own bank.

Yes, usually though, they can take it out of the amount of the check, and it isn't usually very much.
