Food Shows; Currency
The currency used by vendors to pay show money had three
possible sources: (1) the vendor’s promotional allowance account,
if the vendor gave petitioner written instructions to charge a
specific amount against the account and to deliver currency in
that amount to the vendor at the food show, (2) a vendor’s check,
given by the vendor to petitioner for the specific purpose of
providing currency to the vendor at the food show, and (3)
currency brought to the food show by the vendor and taken from an
account of the vendor unknown to petitioner. In the first two
cases, petitioner obtained the necessary currency from the
Amarillo National Bank (the bank).
Petitioner obtained currency from the bank in denominations
sufficient to meet the individual vendors’ requests for currency
in specific denominations. Petitioner placed the currency in
locked bank bags identified with numbers unique to each vendor.
Immediately before a food show began, vendors retrieved their
bags from petitioner at a central location after, first,
verifying that the bag’s contents were as expected and, second,
signing a receipt.
At the conclusion of the food show, vendors who had received
bank bags from petitioner returned to petitioner those bags and
any currency they wanted to deliver to petitioner. Petitioner
issued written receipts for the bank bags and currency returned.
