Question: You are working in a licensed family restaurant. A parent orders a glass of wine with their meal. Their 16-year-old child, sitting at the same table, requests a 'sip' of the parent's wine. What is your legal obligation?
Answer options:
- Allow the sip, as it is only a small amount and the parent is present and responsible. ✅ Politely inform the parent that consumption of alcohol by a minor, even a sip, is illegal in a licensed establishment.
- Ignore it, as it is between the parent and child.
- Offer to bring a non-alcoholic beverage for the child.
Correct answer: Politely inform the parent that consumption of alcohol by a minor, even a sip, is illegal in a licensed establishment.
Explanation: Under the Liquor Licence and Control Act, 2019, it is illegal for anyone under 19 (the legal drinking age in Ontario) to consume alcohol in a licensed establishment, regardless of parental consent or supervision. The server must intervene and inform the parent of this rule. Option A and C would result in a violation. Option D is a good gesture, but doesn't address the primary legal infraction.
