Answer:
A general receipt may be suitable for liquor deliveries. It should include the following details:
- The buyer's name and address
- The quantity and type of goods received
- The seller's name and address
- The date of receipt
- The total purchase price
For example:
"I, (name of buyer), of (address of buyer), acknowledge having received and now accept (quantity) (units) of (type of goods) as full delivery of a total of (quantity) (units) purchased from (name of seller), of (address of seller), on (date of receipt), for (dollar amount of purchase price)."
According to the Illinois Liquor Control Act of 1934, a retailer is defined as a person who sells alcoholic liquor for use or consumption, not for resale. The Act states that no one may sell, transport, or possess alcoholic liquor for beverage purposes without a license from the Illinois Liquor Control Commission. Therefore, it’s advisable to include a statement in the receipt confirming that the retailer holds a valid license. Additionally, consider adding language about the condition of the goods when accepted by the retailer.
