not needed at all. the stock cooler is more than enough for a locked cpu.
don't let them talk you into it unless you really want it. plus don't let them charge you for the cooler since it comes with the cpu in the box!!

You can use the stock cooler that comes with the CPU and it should already have thermal grease on it too. The only reason to use an after market cooler is if you purchased and OEM model which doesn't come with a CPU cooler. Or if you bought a unlocked or "K" Intel model CPU and you plan to really push it. If you are planning very high over clocks then you would go with a water cooled system.
