          No no no, you buy store credit in multiples of 400 credits but things cost multiples of 700 credits.

            Just that, and then you somehow end up with 3 credits that will forever be stuck there because nothing ever cost anything that can make the 3 go away. So you will never have a round number of credits again.

            How could I forget that.
