Is it legal for 20-yr-old waiters to serve alcohol at restaurants?
Or do should customers demand to see his ID?

Does Fairfax County or State of Virginia have any laws/regulations on this?

thank!

I have no idea. But it is legal to enter the country without papers and then to scream at the Virginia Highway Patrol when your 16-year-old gets drunk, gets pulled over for going 95 MPH without a license and then jumps off a bridge and kills himself.

Anyone else see something wrong with this picture?

I served beer and wine when i was 16, but I think the law is 18 for that and 21 for liquor, or something.

Here's what I found:

According to the State of Virginia's Dept of Alcoholic Beverage Control,
http://www.abc.state.va.us/licensing/abcfaq1.htm




Q: How old does a waiter or waitress have to be?
A: Waiter or waitress - 18 years of age, Bartender - 21 years of age.




Q: What type of clothes can be worn in the restaurant by employees?

A: Basically, any type clothing may be worn provided it has not been provided
by a wholesaler. However, on the premises of a mixed beverage licensee
clothing which stresses nudity or near nudity is prohibited.

You can serve/sell it at 18, beer or liquor, but you can mix it or open it unless you are 21. Served long enough to know...
