Just to be clear, when I mentioned hikers and business hours I was just responding to the question "Why would that be a problem?"  There are lots of logistical problems to be overcome on a PCT thru-hike.  I didn't mean to sound like I thought the Paradise Cafe was at "fault" in any way. Their completely reasonable policy just has to be factored in when planning your water sources. A spigot that is on 24 hours a day is obviously less of a logistical problem than a spigot that is on only during business hours. I'm not making a judgement, just pointing out the obvious.

This is entirely analogous to picking up a package at the Post Office or at a hotel.  The Post Office isn't at fault for not being open 24 hours.  It is just something to be factored in to a hiker's logistical planning.
