SHARE ITEMS
Maria needs a tent for the weekend and borrows it from a colleague who is at the other side of the factory location. Tobias helps her out, using the locker onsite as an exchange spot, and that saves Maria the money and time for the purchase.
Similarly, Maria can use the locker as a depot for her own items while working.

REQUEST GROCERY DELIVERY AND MORE
Thomas has a late shift today and orders groceries from a local shop. He can pick up his items after work from the locker onsite and go straight home.
In the meantime, he is collecting discounts for the next purchases. That could be a laundry delivery service or getting products from the local pharmacy to the locker onsite.
