Just wanted to give this branch of Gamma (Grutterij, Amstelveen) a thumbs up - I go there often and the staff are very helpful and knowledgable. 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. The Dutch may find that "overdreven", but this foreigner prefers it to the often disinterested and unhelpful service you will find at many other establishments in the Netherlands. They could use a few extra check-out desks as it can be a long wait if it's crowded, but of course space is not in high supply in the Netherlands, so I'd prefer they use it to keep well-stocked.. read more
