Question: A patron presents an Ontario Health Card as identification to purchase alcohol. What is your correct response according to AGCO regulations?
Answer options:
- Accept the Ontario Health Card as valid ID, but advise the patron that it is not preferred. ✅ Refuse the Ontario Health Card as valid ID for alcohol purchase and ask for an alternative.
- Accept the Ontario Health Card only if it is accompanied by another piece of non-photo ID.
- Inform the patron that you must confiscate the Health Card immediately, as it's illegal to use it for ID.
Correct answer: Refuse the Ontario Health Card as valid ID for alcohol purchase and ask for an alternative.
Explanation: Ontario Health Cards are not acceptable forms of identification for purchasing alcohol in Ontario due to provincial law (Health Card and Numbers Control Act, 1991) that prohibits their use for age verification, primarily to protect privacy. Servers must refuse it and ask for an AGCO-approved ID. Option A is incorrect as it's not valid ID. Option C is insufficient. Option D is incorrect; you refuse it, but you do not confiscate it.
