Question: If you are unsure whether a patron's ID is valid, what is the best practice to avoid unknowingly serving to a minor?

Answer options:

  • Accept the ID and hope for the best, as you are busy.
  • Trust your gut feeling and serve them if they seem old enough. ✅ Refuse service if you cannot confidently confirm the ID's validity or the patron's age.
  • Ask a colleague to check the ID for you.

Correct answer: Refuse service if you cannot confidently confirm the ID's validity or the patron's age.

Explanation: If there is any doubt about the validity of an ID or the patron's age, the safest and most responsible course of action is to refuse service. AGLC regulations place the burden of proof on the patron to establish their age. Servers must be confident in the ID and the patron's age before serving alcohol; otherwise, they risk violating the law and their certification.
