This reminds me of April 2009.  It was an inset day and the day Little King's Story came out in Europe and I decided to buy a copy (due to the fact I wasn't that interested in the game until all the fantastic reviews came in, I didn't place a pre-order).  The woman at the cashier said to me 'I assume you're buying this game for a younger sibling', I couldn't be arsed with the whole thing so I took the easy option and just agreed.  She then said 'I thought so, no 'gamer' above the age of 9 would buy a Wii game, in particular this one'.  I didn't even think GAME staff could sink that low.

The box cover makes it look like it is a kiddie game.  Of course it isn't, but an uninformed clerk will presume it is, and make a comment they think is helpful.  Add in the presumption that the Wii is for kids, and you get that comment.  The clerk likely views themselves as a "gamer", so she wouldn't have a clue what it is about.
