Parents are different. A parent can buy any game with children, just as a parent can take his 10 year old son into a wine store and buy a bottle of Jack. He/she can even hand the kid the bottle on the way out. (The kid cannot DRINK it in public, of course). But, yeah, brothers/sisters/uncles/etc. are routinely denied products if they are with an underage child.

Well, not exactly. In certain circumstances, they can refuse a customer. However, they have to tread a very fine line. For example, if a minority is refused service at a store the employee better have a mighty good reason why he or she was refused. One such case is where the employee suspects that an age restricted item is intended for an underage minor. Simply saying we do not have to serve anyone is not, strictly speaking, legal.
