Question: A licensee discovers that one of their ProServe certified staff members regularly discounts alcoholic beverages for friends, essentially giving them 'free' drinks. No money from these transactions is processed through the POS system. What is the most severe potential consequence for the licensee under AGLC regulations?

Answer options:

  • A formal written warning from AGLC.
  • A mandatory retraining requirement for all staff. ✅ A significant monetary fine and/or suspension of the liquor license.
  • Required implementation of new sales tracking software.

Correct answer: A significant monetary fine and/or suspension of the liquor license.

Explanation: This scenario constitutes an illicit sale or provision of liquor, circumventing legal sale procedures and potentially leading to significant financial losses and regulatory breaches. The AGLC views such actions seriously, and depending on the frequency and scale, it can result in substantial fines and even the suspension or cancellation of the liquor license, as it affects the integrity of liquor sales and compliance. Warnings or retraining are less severe and unlikely primary penalties for such a direct procedural breach.
