ID & MinorsQuestion 64 of 80
During a suspected sting, an underage-looking customer truthfully says they are 19 and asks for a beer. The correct response is to:

b.Serve a non-alcoholic beer without telling them
c.Refuse the alcohol sale because the customer is a minor
d.Serve it if they leave a good tip
Explanation
A customer who is under 21, even if honest about it, cannot legally be sold alcohol. The server must refuse regardless of a sting. Honesty about being underage does not create any exception to the law.
