9. Sale process for the event is as follows:
Each vendor will receive a book of 3-copy receipts to track transactions. Please write your name on every receipt so that sales can be allocated properly.
For each customer, list a description and the price of each individual item they are purchasing
Draw a line underneath the last item and circle the labeled subtotal of all items.
It will not be necessary for vendors to calculate sales tax as it will be handled during the final checkout process.
Retain only the pink copy for your records, giving the top two (white and yellow) copies to the customer. Direct them to bring all receipts the office to pay once they have finished shopping.
Please Note: We will do our best to catch any errors in subtotals during the checkout process, but will not be held responsible for mistakes in addition of subtotals vendors make when writing tickets.
