  2. Get a coworker to help you move the customer to a private area where he or she won’t bother the other guests.

Explanation
Answer: D - If a customer starts getting sick in the bar, help him or her to the bathroom and get him or her medical attention if necessary.

Sometimes when a customer gets sick, it is an isolated incident and he or she just needs to be taken home by someone who is sober. If he or she vomits multiple times, however, and/or is incoherent or becomes unresponsive, you need to get him or her medical attention as soon as possible. Keep in mind that any vomit in the bar/restaurant area will also need to be cleaned up as soon as possible.
