ロッカー: ろおかー

Why this phrase

Silver Week weekend (Sep 18-22): station coin lockers fill by mid-morning. The sign is 満杯, full to the brim, not 満員 (that's people on a train). Decode the two kanji so a tourist stops feeding coins into a dead locker and goes to the staffed baggage room instead. Transport logistics, so CTA is the trip-kit hub.
