Can I check your ID please?

Working as a cocktail server in Maple Grove, I have daily interaction with the public. So when I became aware of how the city of Maple Grove was starting to crackdown on liquor license violators, I was very interested on how with would impact the community. I personally have the responsibility in my job to enforce laws that our government has put in to law and is effected by this news of crackdown of violators.

By talking to people in the community and my fellow co-workers I began to see a very similar concern. All parties agreed that violators should face hefty fines for violations. They believe that fines would in the future deter future offenders and make the community safer. Also that it is each establishments own responsibility to enforce the laws.

So enforcing more strictly the liquor license violations in Maple Grove the community gets to hold on to one of their values, safety. I know that I can make sure on a daily basis when I am at work that I can contribute to that ideal by doing my job properly. By effective monitoring and enforcement the city of Maple Grove will achieve their goals of making it a safer community.

This is great, the turn you make on "community" and how the whole idea if rooted in shared values.

Do you get to interact with the police on your job? Good core responsibility.
