One of your coworkers has been drinking with the customers and appears to be getting intoxicated. Should you intervene, and if so, how?
  1. Yes. You should discreetly alert the manager.
  2. No. “Tattling” on a coworker will only cause tension.
  3. Yes. You should point out to your coworker that he or she needs to stop.
  4. Any of the above.
Explanation
Answer: A - If one of your coworkers is getting intoxicated with customers, you should discreetly alert the manager.

While it can be tempting to protect your coworker and preserve your relationship with him or her, the truth is that in most cases you can both get in trouble if you see that he or she is getting drunk at work and do nothing about it. Most establishments have their own policies regarding employee drinking, and your manager should know what actions to take next.
