[0:00]I am the manager on duty. Then I need to speak to whoever you report to. Okay, let me call George. He's the owner. Please do. George, hey, so A.L.E. is here and they're saying that I'm being detained for serving alcohol to a minor. Okay. He said he'll be here in 15 minutes. You're not going anywhere. Look, feel free to stand wherever you want. You can even follow me around, but I have food to run. Those people just sat down. Those people need to close out and those people need a refill. I'm the only front of house employee working right now, so unless you think you can handle it by yourself, this bar still has to run until George gets here. Hi, are you the ALE officer? Yes. Your bartender served. Before I speak to you, I'm going to go check the cameras to watch exactly what happened. I watched the cameras. What exactly are you charging my bartender with? Serving alcohol to a minor. The minor wasn't present when you ordered the beers. He ordered and received his water before getting up to use the restroom. Correct. And the beers were placed on the bar before the minor came back to his seat. She placed them between us because she clearly knew that one of them was intended for him. Can you please come here for a second? Yeah. When he ordered the beer, did he tell you that one of them was for the other guy that he was with? No, he didn't. So she served the person who ordered the beer, and you decided who they were for? She never gave a minor a beer. It's her fault for not verifying who the beer's officer. With all due respect, I understand we all have a job to do. If you believe there was a violation, go ahead and write the citation, and we'll let the courts sort this out. I'll let it slide this time, but your bartenders need to be more aware when there are minors around. Yes, sir. Have a great day. You're all good, Michelle. You can go back to work. Thank you.

This transcript captures a tense encounter between a bar manager and an ALE (Alcohol Law Enforcement) officer, who is accusing a bartender of serving alcohol to a minor. The manager, initially left alone to run the bar, insists on continuing her duties while waiting for the owner, George, to arrive. She maintains her composure and efficiently manages the establishment despite the officer's presence, highlighting the practical challenges of a short-staffed business.
Upon George's arrival, he takes a calm and strategic approach. He first reviews the security footage to understand the exact sequence of events before engaging with the officer. George then meticulously questions the officer's grounds for the accusation, pointing out that the minor was not present when the beer was ordered and the bartender never directly handed a beer to the minor. He challenges the officer's assumption that the bartender knew the beer was intended for the minor, ultimately leading to the officer dropping the accusation and warning the bar to be more vigilant in the future.
