Question: If a customer appears intoxicated, what should a server do FIRST?

Answer options:

  • Immediately call the police. ✅ Tactfully stop serving alcohol to them and explain why.
  • Suggest they go home without intervention.
  • Try to get them to drink coffee.

Correct answer: Tactfully stop serving alcohol to them and explain why.

Explanation: If a customer appears intoxicated, the server should first tactfully but firmly stop serving them alcohol and explain the establishment's policy and their legal obligations. Calling the police might be a later step if the situation escalates, simply suggesting they go home is insufficient, and coffee does not sober someone up.
