Delores Bierlein paid a $200 deposit toward the rental of the Silver Room at Alex's Continental Inn for her wedding reception. Later, Delores canceled the reception because her fiance was transferred from Ohio to New York. The inn refused to refund Delores's deposit. The consumer protection law of that state requires suppliers to furnish receipts when they receive deposits. Delores was not given a receipt for her $200 deposit. When she sued for the return of the $200 deposit, the question arose as to whether this transaction fell within the consumer protection law. Do you think it does? Explain.
