Practice question

What should a server do if they see a customer consuming cannabis on the premises?

  1. Ignore the behavior
  2. Politely inform them of the establishment's policies and request compliance
  3. Encourage them to continue
  4. Join the customer in consuming cannabis

Answer: B — Politely inform them of the establishment's policies and request compliance

When a server observes a customer consuming cannabis on the premises, the appropriate action is to politely inform them of the establishment's policies and request compliance. This choice aligns with the legal regulations set forth by the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission, which govern the consumption of cannabis in public places, including establishments that serve alcohol. By addressing the behavior in a respectful manner, the server maintains professionalism while also ensuring that the establishment complies with state laws. This proactive approach helps protect the establishment from potential legal repercussions and reinforces the importance of adhering to its policies regarding substance use. Other responses do not acknowledge the importance of compliance with policies; simply ignoring the behavior could lead to violations of the law, while encouraging or participating in the consumption of cannabis can result in serious legal issues for both the server and the establishment. Thus, maintaining adherence to the required rules and regulations is essential for the server's role and the safety of the establishment.
