A group of young-looking individuals enters your establishment. One shows an ID to the doorman, who checks it briefly and lets them in. As you approach the table, you notice the individual who showed the ID looks significantly younger than the birth date on the ID. What should you do?

Question: A group of young-looking individuals enters your establishment. One shows an ID to the doorman, who checks it briefly and lets them in. As you approach the table, you notice the individual who showed the ID looks significantly younger than the birth date on the ID. What should you do?

Answer options:

• Trust the doorman's check and serve them.
• Serve their friends and avoid serving the suspicious individual. ✅ Politely re-check the ID yourself before serving anyone in the group.
• Call the police immediately without further investigation.

Correct answer: Politely re-check the ID yourself before serving anyone in the group.

Explanation: Each server has a personal responsibility to ensure that no minors are served. If you have doubts about a patron's age, even if they've passed a door check, you must re-verify their ID before serving them. Trusting the doorman blindly (Option A) or avoiding the individual (Option B) does not absolve you of your responsibility. Calling the police immediately (Option D) is premature without your own verification and refusal of service.
