Case Scenario: You work in a gas station in a major tourist area that has a policy that prohibits accepting out-of-town checks. There is a sign on the gas pumps stating payment policy. It includes a statement that out-of-town checks are not accepted. A tourist from another state has her family with her and fills her car with gas. She then comes to you to pay for her purchase. She tells you that she has only personal checks and $2 in cash with her. She is leaving town to return home at this time.
