If the hostess bars were listed as restaurants, they would not have been blocked. Having been in the corporate world for many years, I can tell you that merchant codes can be wrong in either direction. I doubt anyone "unblocked" the card - or unblocked those particular merchants.
I beg to differ with you Sir. It is a government not a corporate pCard. Government pCards are different with different agreements then what you were dealing with in your many years of corporate employment. If you read the pCard manual you can see for yourself the prohibitions and food is one of them. You might be surprised what else is on that list.
For food receipts... if you can prove to the finance director that it was government business then you get the money back. Everything is suppose to be reconciled by the end of the month. Have you ever heard of per diem?
