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

You can't buy alcohol in a store with a minor at all (cigarettes you can, as long as they don't suspect you to be buying them for a kid). Your right, the main problem is that he took the cards from the brother, and that gave her the right to make the call that he was buying the game for him. If a legal guardian had been given the gift cards by his son, then it would be a perfectly legal transaction and the cashier would have no right to make that call.

WHAT?! What state are you in? That really sounds... anal I guess would be the right word.

I don't even think that a legal guardian had to have those gift cards, I'd be singing a different tune if the older brother had produced those gift cards.

Indiana, and yeah, it's pretty conservative around here. Actually though I'm wrong.  You can buy alcohol with a minor around, just not in a liquor store (where they aren't allowed in).  Again though, the store owner has the right to make the judgement call that you may be buying that alcohol for the minor and refuse you sale of it.
