Last week, I went to Praxis (just because it was close), asking for some help with some broken faucets I had, and they were of no help whatsoever - went over to Gamma and they helped and solved all the problems, special ordering a part I needed. They're also quite friendly and some even say "hello" to you American-style when you're browsing.
