I agree it is far from ideal but what's the better manufacturing way? Visit CVS on a daily basis

. If you use INK, at least you can save half of the trips. This is efficiency vs. productivity.

BTW, buying AMEX/chase/etc. bank GC online once looked attractive (when high CB shopping portal available), but once you receive them, you still face the same problem as I do here: how to cash them. Using $500 GC in store is no better than $200 bank GC in store in term of hassle.
