Question: A server notices a group at a table sharing a bottle of wine they brought from home. What action must the server take immediately?
Answer options:
- Inform them that there is a corkage fee for outside alcohol. ✅ Politely ask them to stop consuming the outside alcohol and remove it.
- Ignore it, as long as they are also ordering drinks from the bar.
- Call the AGCO immediately to report an infraction.
Correct answer: Politely ask them to stop consuming the outside alcohol and remove it.
Explanation: Under the LLCA, patrons are generally not permitted to bring and consume their own alcohol in a licensed establishment unless specific exemptions apply (e.g., unopened wine for corkage, which must still be served by staff). The immediate action is to stop the consumption of unauthorized alcohol. Calling the AGCO (option D) would be an escalation for continued non-compliance, and options A and C are incorrect as outside alcohol is not allowed to be consumed this way.
