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. |
I think the main problem was that he took those gift cards from the younger brother. |
That is exactly the problem. I'm sure if he hadn't done that the cashier probably wouldn't have cared but she decided to check and that's that. Edouble24 said:

She didn't refuse the kid,she refused the adult just because he was with a minor. |
Are you even reading what we're writing? I know your Gamestop says one thing but, well, they're wrong. They have the legal guardian rule to keep themselves from getting in trouble. If anyone 17 year old could buy any 15 year old any M rated game you know the kind of trouble Gamestop could get in if one parent decided to throw a hissy fit? By saying the legal guardian has to buy the game, they're protecting themselves from bitchy parents. Parents can bitch and moan that their kids are playing terrible M rated games, but as long as the parent bought it there's nothing they can do to Gamestop. If some other little snot bought the game then the parent has a case.

They have no case against Gamestop at all actually. If I sold you an M rated game and you gave it to a 4 year old the parent has no case against Gamestop at all.
|
If I came in with a 15 year old (I'm not going to use the 4 year old example because it's silly), went up to the register, took money from him, bought the game, and then the next day the parent called bitching they would veyr much get the Gamestop in a heap of hurt. The Gamestop wouldn't lose money but more than liklely the manager would get fired and possibly the employee that sold the game. |
I highly doubt anyone would get fired if that happened.
