Question: If a patron becomes aggressive after being refused service, what is the best course of action for the server?

Answer options:

  • Try to reason with them and explain the law in detail.
  • Serve them one more drink to calm them down. ✅ Call for management or security assistance immediately.
  • Ignore their aggression and hope they leave on their own.

Correct answer: Call for management or security assistance immediately.

Explanation: If a patron becomes aggressive after refusal of service, the server's priority is personal safety and the safety of others. It is best to disengage from the aggressive patron and immediately seek assistance from management or security staff who are trained to handle such situations. Engaging in a prolonged argument or serving more alcohol is dangerous and against AGLC regulations.
