Lesson 5. ID checking and refusing service to minors

Students practice calculating the legal date of birth, locating date of birth on ID, recognizing valid South Carolina identification forms, spotting fake IDs, and handling underage attempts.

Each module includes written content, audio, and an interactive review. When enrollment opens, student progress is recorded in sequence and does not allow omitted content.

Listen to the lesson

This review view reads the lesson text aloud in the browser so the written content is also available as audio.

Age calculation

A server must be able to calculate the required date of birth by subtracting 21 years from today's date.

The ID check is not complete until the server locates the date of birth and compares it to the required date.

Valid and questionable ID

The course teaches checking photograph, date of birth, expiration, physical description, card condition, security features, consistency, and signs of alteration.

Questionable ID should trigger manager involvement and a refusal or delay in service rather than guessing.

Consistent refusal

A consistent ID policy helps prevent discrimination, protects the business, and reduces pressure on individual servers.

The safest response to an underage or illegal-ID attempt is firm, respectful, brief, and documented according to business policy.

Key takeaway

Before moving forward, choose one concrete action that lowers risk and respects the course completion controls.
