A manager, who represents that establishment and is supposed to lead by example should NEVER be making jokes at the expense of a customer.
Her sarcastic attitude alone should have her bumped from her position. It is incredibly unprofessional.
If you were at work does your boss have no issues if a customer walks in and you begin poking fun at them?

Come on, the "sarcastic" responses are about all you can do in that sitaution. If you dont say anything your wrong. If you say never come back youre wrong. Her responses to him before he walked away were fine. The joke was wrong and in bad taste but not fireable in my opinion

There is actually zero room for sarcasm with a customer and the jokes (hers especially) were absolutely grounds for termination. I am sure you wouldn't like picking up a game or buying clothing somewhere and the clerk making a joke at your expense. It may seem funny when it isn't directed at you, but even if this type of situation arised it would be grounds for discipline:
Customer: "Hi, I am picking up my copy of GTA 5."
Clerk: "Sure, may I see your ID?"
Customer: "I'm sorry, I forgot it. I have my reciept though and it is paid off in full."
Clerk: "Sir, you would think it is well knows that if you are picking up a MA rated game that you would need to bring ID to prove your age."
That scenario ends up with the customer becoming the butt end of a joke and possibly in front of other customers. Now you just embarassed your customer. The proper response would be:
Clerk: "I am sorry sir. Store policy states that I cannot sell this product to you unless I can validate your age."
She is paid to do a job. She is paid to act in a professional manner. If she doesn't like the rules then she can go home and look for another job, which I hope she is because with her attitude she shouldn't be working with customers in any form.
