I hired a young lady the last week of October. When we do interviews at my company, HR will not allow us to ask "Do you have a car?" - we have to ask "Do you have reliable transportation". She said Yes, and after a lot more questions and the background check and the drug screen, I hired her. She has shown up early for every shift, is always full of energy, does a great job, and is a real joy to work with. Now, over a month later, I found out that she commutes by bicycle! I saw her coming to work today. I said "You ride your bike to work?" She answered "I haven't owned a car in years." A cool discovery to say the least.
