The guy that came down on us was one of the typical intimidating gym coach types (some of his antics included using a ruler to make sure hair isn't too long and inspecting the tags of your shirt to make sure they are the official brand...) Anywho, he threatened suspension and that was enough to dissuade us from selling too openly. Suspension probably would have been unlikely but I'm sure there is something in the rules about students operating a business on campus. I've heard of schools not caring that students do that just as long as it is off of school property (like out on the sidewalk), but we weren't an open campus and weren't allowed outside. We tried to keep up the locker sales but they weren't profitable enough to be worth our time so we gave it up soon after.

Also, loved the calculator stories. My grades suffered (relatively) bad when I got myself one of those calcs. The big game in my school was Plantation...(homogenous Catholic school, go figure)
