Checking IDsQuestion 51 of 80

a.Serve the guest anyway
b.Assume the photo is just old
c.Decline to accept the ID and refuse alcohol service
d.Ask the guest to sign a waiver
Explanation
If the photo does not match the guest, the ID may be borrowed or fraudulent, and the server should refuse to accept it and decline service. Serving on a mismatched ID risks an illegal underage sale. Politely explaining the policy helps keep the interaction calm.
