Question: A server suspects a customer has tampered with their ID. What is the most appropriate action?

Answer options:

  • Confiscate the ID immediately and throw it away. ✅ Refuse service, return the ID, and make a note of the incident.
  • Scan the ID with a third-party app to check for alterations.
  • Serve the customer, but discreetly inform the police after they leave.

Correct answer: Refuse service, return the ID, and make a note of the incident.

Explanation: If a server suspects an ID has been tampered with, they should refuse service. However, they are legally permitted to seize a suspicious ID only if they reasonably believe it is a fake or belongs to someone else and is being used to misrepresent age. If it's suspected of being tampered with but is still believed to belong to the customer, it should be returned after refusing service, and the incident should be documented. Seizing an ID without strong justification could lead to legal issues. Informing the police is an option if a fake ID is seized, but serving the customer in this scenario is illegal.
