That gets back to my original question of how that will occur and the original issue about being treated differently to other customers, in that I will have to signal that I have this special card that I cannot buy alcohol on. How do I organise it? This is what people are bringing up with me. I have to flag that I am on income support, that I have a different card and that I have to pay for my alcohol out of my limited amount of 20 per cent cash.
