Having a locker at my B&M would be awesome.

$300 a month is outrageous, period.
The Local B&M I used to frequent started at $150 a year, 20% discount, then some high rollers showed up. Soon, all the regulars who spent $2000 a year were forced out when the owner decided to increase the lockers to $300, $600, and $1200 to pick the high roller's pockets. NO benefits at all for the $300 locker, the $600 and $1200 got you 10% when we used to get 20% at the $150 level. They also promised the locker members a free meal once a month. I think I was told November was the last time they got a meal. They also went around crowing that you got an 'opportunity' to go on he Esteli Perdomo tour (that YOU had to pay for, of course), like it was some kind of benefit. Of course, anyone can go on the Perdomo tour.

This shop is not even the caliber of any kind of place that can charge those kinds of prices but some idiots pay it. I obviously don't go there since I was told I didn't spend enough. Really. They said that. To a $2000+ a year customer.
