I was told by my employer yesterday that I shouldn't use the phrase 'would you care for a drink' when addressing customers, as he said it's not grammatically correct. He said you 'care' for your family, but you don't 'care' for a drink.
Is he correct?
' is correct.

You should probably just listen to him but 'would you care for a drink?' is correct.
It's correct grammar, but it's more common to say: Would you like a drink?

I am not sure it's incorrect. Maybe depending on where you are - US or UK - it might be correct or not?
