Co-op rule: parts must be installed on bicycle before leaving
I stopped at my local bike co-op yesterday and noticed a sign I hadn't seen before saying that purchased parts must be installed on a bicycle before leaving. Is that a common rule at most bike co-ops, and if so, what's the reason for it? I don't want to push my non-working bike to the co-op to fix it, when I can ride a working bike to pick up the parts I need. The co-op is not currently enforcing the rule for COVID reasons (they'd rather allow people to install parts at home) so not actually causing me problems right now; I'm just wondering if this is how bike co-ops generally operate.
