a rain check
When you go to purchase an item, sometimes you may find that it's sold out. In that case, at a grocery store or discount store, you can ask for a rain check.
Hi,
I've googled the images of "a rain check," and it looks like a ticket or a slip of paper. Thus, I wonder why it's call "a check" instead of "a ticket." Thanks.
