Check Cashing Fee

I don't bank with United FCU, But a good friend of mine does and he wrote me a check for $150. I drove to the teller window and they said I had to go inside. I was to surprise they were charging me $6.00 because I am not a member. I thought it was ridiculous from a supposedly consumer oriented financial institution. I bank with Wells Fargo and they have no such fee, account holder or not.
