How is this issue handle in Society?
If the PC can cast one of the spells, staves start all scenarios full charged?
You have to have 1 spell on the staffs list AND be able to cast a spell of the highest level the staff can crank out
Each morning, when a spellcaster prepares spells or regains spell slots, he can also imbue one staff with a portion of his power so long as one or more of the spells cast by the staff is on his spell list and he is capable of casting at least one of the spells. Imbuing a staff with this power restores one charge to the staff, but the caster must forgo one prepared spell or spell slot of a level equal to the highest-level spell cast by the staff.
If you can do that it will recharge back up to 10 in between sessions.
Could a PC pay spellcaster services to recharge a staff?
Probably. But remember they'll bill you for the highest level on the staff.
Could a staff be recharge from a scroll?
Pretty sure that one's a no.

If you can charge it yourself:
Yes. Note that if you have the ability to charge a staff with your own spellcasting, the indeterminate number of days between adventures generally means that you begin each adventure with the staff fully charged.
Paying an NPC to charge a staff isn’t directly addressed but I’d say it’s allowed by extension of the following FAQ (my bolding for emphasis). Cost would be for a spell of the highest level in the staff:
Yes. A PC with the ability to cast spells may cast a spell into a spell-storing item that he owns. A PC may also pay an NPC spellcaster to cast a spell into one of his spell-storing items. If he does not use the spell by the end of the adventure, it carries over into the next adventure. The GM should make a note on the adventure's Chronicle sheet that the spell-storing item contains a spell. When the PC casts the spell, cross this note off the Chronicle sheet.
Scrolls don’t work simply because that’s not a valid method of recharging a staff.
Keep in mind:
1. You must be able to cast the highest spell level (though not necessarily that particular spell) in the staff AND at least one spell contained in the staff to recharge it.
2. Limit of one charge per day added to the staff, and only during normal spell prep time.
