Today I was in a part of town I never have before.

I saw a store JUST for badminton.

Screws. A whole shop especially for screws and nuts, and you could buy bigger boxes, or smaller boxes, or only one or two, and they took their time to give advice, always with the same friendliness and helpfulness, whether you left a few cents or some real money.

    We have a 'Mr Gwint' shop in my city ('gwint' means 'thread' in Polish, and the word is probably familiar to The Witcher players). They mainly sell various fastenings, but also tools and other related stuff. They have a big note on the door 'Only wholesale, no retail. Only full packaging.' But whenever I went there and asked for some screws, they would sell me much less than the full package. Friendly (to the Polish standards, that is) and helpful, unlike the sign on the door. But I wouldn't dare asking for just one or two basic screws.
