Pay via CC at the self-checkout station. The cashier handed me the gift card activation slip and that was it. Done.
FWIW -- Shouldn't have to open package to expose anything, everything needed for purchase is already exposed.

Also: Very easy purchase w/ CC at my Giant in Northern Virginia, although cashier needs to ring for manager key to complete transaction. No snide remarks from managers I have encountered, just joking "wish you were buying this for me." Props to Giant for walking the talk.
