Pennsylvania's ACCESS card serves as your identification for point of entry for a lot of different services, including medical care (although most people also have a managed medicaid HMO card along with it), food stamps, and it works like an ordinary ATM card for cash withdrawals up to a certain amount.
A few surprising places that I have seen the little teal and yellow "ACCESS accepted" sign include Wal-Mart, KFC, and Payless Shoe Stores. I forget whether it's on the list of accepted cards at the gas station, Wawa and the 7-11, but I'll try to remember to look next time.
