And up here at Eagle Hardware, before they let you work in an area they give you a test. Questions that involve brutal (for the public) word problems. Something like, Customer wants to cover the floor of a room that is 18'x30'6" with 12"x12" tiles in a pattern with three different colors. How many packages of 4 square yard tiles does he need in each color? How about with 8"x8" tiles? The company also hands out stock options to pretty much all their workers, and have a pretty good crowd. They put a lot of their competition out of business, and seem to be surviving Home Depot. The big difference is that Eagle Hardware is a hardware store, with unbelievable variety in nuts and bolts. Even 6-rated nuts and bolts. Symbol is EAGL. Got mighty cheap a while back at $7 per share.... -- Carl
