Read the scenarios below. Answer the questions on the CONTRACT LAW page.
1. JJ bought his roast beef sandwich at Joe's Deli every lunch hour. Joe always had a joke to pass on while he rang up the transaction. JJ would then buy a soda out of the machine, grab a section of the paper the deli provided, and settle into one of the booths to read. JJ only ad 20 minutes for lunch, so he made the most of them. One day he found the store packed with Benton High School students. On their way to a state basketball playoff game, the bus had stopped for them to buy lunch. Twelve students were waiting in line at the register. Seeing his lunch time evaporating, JJ held up the sandwich where Joe could see it and laid the customary amount on the back counter. Joe nodded, winked, and grabbed the money for the register. What kind of contract had just been formed?
