The bars in your area have to close by 2 a.m., but you still have some customers trying to order beer at that time. What do you do?
  1. Refuse to serve them and inform them that the bar is now closed.
  2. Agree to give them one last drink on the condition that they leave within the next 10 minutes.
  3. Talk to your manager and see if he or she is OK with staying open just a little longer.
  4. Make sure they have a designated driver and, if so, allow them to have one last drink.
Explanation
Answer: A - If your bar needs to close by a certain time to adhere to local ordinances, you cannot legally serve patrons after that time.

Laws vary by city, but most cities have specific times that bars must close by. It is illegal to serve customers alcohol after hours, and this is reason for a citation from the local liquor authority. Doing a “last call” between 30 and 15 minutes before closing time is a good way to avoid having patrons trying to order too late. Many last calls are actually set by the state or municipality, so be sure to find out what you have to adhere to.
