If you’re buying a Mature game, don’t bring younger siblings

twesterm is absolutely right. If the older person in question was his legal guardian then that's fine, but the cashier did their job. She was completely right to refuse sale to a kid who wasn't accompanied by his legal guardian.

She didn't refuse the kid,she refused the adult just because he was with a minor.

She refused the adult based on her own (completely legal) judgement call that the child was the one the game was for. The child was holding the money. She was well within her rights to make that call.

And her judgement call was BS. I can make judgement calls to everyone that comes into my store and refuse to sell any of them anything and it would be within my rights. I've never ever seen parents walking around with legal documentation saying they were the legal guardian so I could tell them all to blow off when they try to buy a game with their kid around, and guess what, I'd get fired.

The fact that he can't even get his money back makes it even worse. I say it was a pretty poor judgement call.

No, you wouldn't be within your rights.  You wouldn't be within your rights to refuse a lone 21 year old man the purchase of a game.  You would be within your rights to refuse a 21 year old the right to buy a game if you had valid reason to suspect he was buying it for a minor he was accompanying who he was not the legal guardian for.  I'm sorry, but you clearly don't understand this law, and you are blowing this way out of proportion.  It's a system in place to protect stores.  Have you ever worked in an electronics store at a register?
