And some good advice if you catch some of the older staff. I once spent 20 minutes or so talking to the rigger at my local marine store about the details of working with dyneema rope.
This store still sells screws and bolts individually from open bins. If I need one 1/4" flat washer, I can buy it for maybe 12 cents, rather than going to a big box store and paying $2.49 for a plastic package of eight, making high-end stainless cheaper than galvanized for small projects.
