Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold
The Company recognizes retail sales of fuel, grocery and other merchandise, prepared food and fountain and other revenue at the time of the sale to the guest. Sales taxes collected from guests and remitted to the government are recorded on a net basis in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
A portion of revenue from sales that include a redeemable box top coupon or points under our Casey’s Rewards program is deferred. The deferred portion of the sale represents the value of the estimated future redemption of the box top coupon or points. The amounts related to redeemable box top coupons and points are deferred until their redemption or expiration. Revenue related to the box top coupons and points issued is expected to be recognized less than one year from the original sale to the guest. As of July 31, 2020 and April 30, 2020, the Company recognized a contract liability of $16,938 and $11,180, respectively, related to the outstanding box top coupons and Casey's Rewards points, which is included in accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Gift card related revenue is recognized as the gift cards are used by the guest. Gift card breakage revenue is recognized based on the estimated gift card breakage rate over the pro rata usage of the card.
Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) are treated as a reduction in cost of goods sold in the period the Company commits to a price and agrees to sell the RIN. Warehousing costs are recorded within operating expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Reimbursements of an operating expense (e.g., advertising) are recorded as reductions of the related expense.
The Company often receives vendor allowances on the basis of quantitative contract terms that vary by product and vendor or directly on the basis of purchases made. Vendor allowances include rebates and other funds received from vendors to promote their products. Vendor rebates, including billbacks, are treated as a reduction in cost of goods sold and are recognized primarily based on the purchase of product or shipment of product from the warehouse to the store, or sale of product to our guests. These are recognized in the period earned based on the applicable rebate agreement.
