I think this comes down to a money vs. time decision. Is it worth 10-15
minutes of your time to pack an extra 30-40 bricks?
I was at the Woodfield store a couple weeks ago and packed three cups. Tim
Courtney and Ondrew Hartigan were nice enough to pack a couple more for me.
I spent about an hour packing the three cups I decided to pack (granted, I
got better with each one I packed). It was a frustrating hour too - I would
have left a far happier customer if I could have simply bought them by
weight.
So is it worth it? For me, I don't think it is. My time is worth more to
me (and my family and my employer) than the extra $10 worth of bricks I got
for an hours worth of work. YMMV.

PS: I am not going to Boston tomorrow so I won't have a chance to check out
on of the stores up there.
