If an establishment is checking IDs at the door, do bartenders/servers still have a legal responsibility to check them? Why or why not?
  1. Yes. The bartender/server should always check the IDs of anyone he or she suspects of being a minor.
  2. No. If any minor is accidentally served, the responsibility falls on the person checking IDs at the door.
  3. Yes. The bartender/server is legally required to check the ID of everyone who asks for an alcoholic drink, regardless of their age or whether or not the ID was checked at the door.
  4. No. Establishments that check IDs at the door always use bracelets or stamps to identify people of legal drinking age.
Explanation
Answer: A - Even if IDs are checked at the door, any server of alcohol still has the responsibility to check IDs of customers they suspect to be underage.

If a minor is served, the entire establishment can be held liable. And the truth is that the doorman or bouncer is less likely to face criminal charges for serving minors than the person actually serving the alcohol. Furthermore, while many establishments that check IDs at the door do use bracelets or stamps to identify people who have been checked and approved, many still do not.
