It would be a reasonable service for the station to check the level, and to inform the customer.
I assumed wrong that checking fluids included brake fluid.

You need to be certified in order to work on breaks or any equipment related to breaks. And the business needs to be licensed for that too. So, this is a liability issue. Yes, they could tell you about the missing brake fluid, but you can’t blame them that they didn’t.
PS: Missing brake fluid is usually a sign that your brake pads are near the end. Check this out sometimes.
