This store is very small,(only one cashier and usually nobody or maybe just one or two customers in the store at any time). I obviously don't want to hammer this store too hard and make them change policy to cash/debit only if I can slowly milk it in perpetuity.

Right now, I'm thinking I'll just purchase 1k per week and hope that this loop last me years. Do you guys think I should hit it harder and risk store shutdown, or slower to preserve the loop?
Start small and slow - get to know the cashier or owner with small talk over a few weeks until they know you're an established regular and then start increasing volume. Don't try and hide anything, if he asks tell him what you're doing...I'm assuming he's not losing money by selling them to you so as long as you're well liked and not suspicious there should be no reason why they wouldn't allow higher volume
