I hear what you are saying Laz, but they can put on the cards what is acceptable. I've used food stamps at one time in my life and remember you couldn't even buy certain energy drinks and such. You would get your total and still have a balance. I remember distinctly searching my bags for that one possible item that wasn't food stampable. Don't blame the sheep, they are dumb. Nip it at the butt and then there won't be an issue. Why cause extra drama with fines, just do not allow it, period.

Another example of that is those people that bought cart loads of stuff when the system temporarily failed to put limits on their cards. They knew what they were doing and were not just taking enough to feed the kids.
