One of the main ramifications (one might say
the most significant outcome) of the ‘charging system’ is that it provides the easiest possible solution for staff confronted by anything that could be considered a grey area in terms of permitted access.
So ..... if anyone turns up pleading their case but their individual circumstances do not precisely meet the strict criteria, then lounge staff will happily deny access but promptly offer the pay-to-enter option (if applicable).
