vendor
Booth-side salesperson
A vendor is someone who sells something.
Street vendors sell food or goods from carts or stalls.
Software vendors sell programs to businesses.
In legal and business contexts, vendor is the formal term for seller in a transaction: We're still negotiating with the vendor.
Vending machines take their name from the same root.
