I mightve accidentally served to a minor and I'm terrified.
Im terrified I accidentally served someone underage.
Im a server, and 3 weeks ago I got super busy during a rush and completely forgot to ID these two girls before serving them drinks. They truly looked 21, but knowing people today I don't know, and the rule is anyone that looks under 25 needs to be served. Im freaking out because if I did completely mess up, I don't know how soon the licensing/police are gonna call me out. If anyone is in the industry, do you think I am safe at this point?
There were multiple indicators that they were not Undercovers, they say there for hours, only ordering like an appetizer, and they had a friend come in like 2 hours later. This doesn't really point to an undercover sting, and like I said, they looked 21 or right on the cusp. I'm scared, I can't get prosecuted or my life is over because of my major. It was an a honest mistake, I just have really bad anxiety.
