Laws & LiabilityQuestion 15 of 80
A patron asks to buy one more beer at 12:15 a.m. on a Tuesday at a bar that has standard hours and no late-hours permit. What should the seller-server do?
a.Serve it quickly before anyone notices
b.Refuse, because the legal hours of sale have ended
c.Serve it only if the patron drinks it in the parking lot
d.Serve a double instead to save time
Explanation
Standard on-premise sales on weeknights end at midnight, so a 12:15 a.m. sale would violate the hours-of-sale rules unless the business holds a late-hours permit. The seller must refuse the late sale. Selling outside legal hours is a Code violation for both the server and the permit holder.
