This course was very informative and really easy to follow.
This was a well put together course with nice information such as knowing proper drink serving sizes, checking to make sure people are of age and what the correct proof of it is, and also how to politely refuse giving drink and simultaneously help out the customer and business. It was all pretty straight forward stuff to me. Although there were a few specifically worded questions and answers that have tripped me up a couple of times.
Very helpful, thanks.
