Supposedly because it is more expensive. But, frankly, I don't technically buy that. It
would be more expensive, but it wouldn't be
that much more expensive. Definitely not
anywhere near twice as expensive.
If it is a facility that provides lockers, the lockers would have to be on some type of carrousel system. So you could access your locker no matter which cubicle you are in.
If the facility does not have lockers it would be even cheaper.
So the only real other answer is, tradition.
