Sorry but that money should not be available as cash.
Those cards should only be used for an exchange of goods; you know food or clothing for the kids not booze and strippers.
Agreed. Most food and clothing can be purchased with a credit card or debit card, and that's how this card should work.
There should be certain things that this card can be used for, and the sales person should be keenly aware of what it can be used for. And if they sell things that shouldn't be purchased with this card, and they are audited, they should be fined excessively.
