I agree. The vendor shouldn't be held accountable for knowing the financial status of the customer (or caring about it).
If someone's a long-time welfare recipient or in bankruptcy because they've spent over their means, they've already transferred some of their personal responsibility burden to the government, the public, and financial institutions to bear. Now, the 7-11 clerk too?
It's frustrating that lottery tickets are being purchased by people on government assistance and those who are broke, but this is just another proposal that wrongly transfers responsibility to working tax payers.
