I'm not proposing the tag,
just promoting it.

Besides: proposals often fair poorly unless there is a certain
critical mass of mapped objects and mappers.
With OSM's free tagging system, the wiki is not the only first step
for new tags.

I've never see a fee-based tool rack, but if you've got an example do map it.
I'd tag such a thing.
indoor=yes
fee=yes

And perhaps with:
opening_hours=destination
With "destination" designating that the opening hours are identical to
the enclosing
element.  I know that's a weak solution, but it's more robust that
copying the opening
hours from the enclosing shop or facility.

------------------------
But not if it's a periodic event, such as the weekly "fix your bike"
session a local bike shop runs.
That feels different.
