What approach should be taken when a minor is found attempting to receive alcohol service?

Allowing it if they are close to the legal age
Ignoring the law for high paying customers
Preventing any service of alcohol to minors
Offering them a non-alcoholic version without informing them

The correct answer is: Preventing any service of alcohol to minors

Serving alcohol to minors is illegal and can have serious consequences for both the individual found serving and the establishment. Therefore, it is important to take a preventative approach and not allow any service of alcohol to minors. Option A is incorrect because even if a minor is close to the legal age, they are still not legally allowed to consume or purchase alcohol. Option B is incorrect because ignoring the law for high paying customers is not only unethical but also illegal. Option D is incorrect because misleading a minor about the beverage they are consuming can still be considered serving alcohol to a minor and can result in consequences. The best approach is to strictly follow the law and not serve alcohol to minors at all.
