And if mommy decides that she is offended by the content of the two games (boobies and drugs, not the fact that they're shitty games), then EB employees should have the right to hit her in the back of the head with a shovel.
2. Sell as many M-rated games to minors as possible
Dismantle GameStop from the inside!
This is harsh. Having to bring ID to buy a game is fucking stupid. As is a 16 year old not being able to buy whatever the hell they want. I'm just glad I don't live in a country where guns are legal, for some strange reason that vastly reduces the number of shootings. I think there might be a connection...
If you don't work in retail, you don't realize how many parents and kids don't realize that all this stuff is in effect for a reason. I have parents come in all the time returning cds and dvds they bought for their kids because they didn't like the content in it. As if a movie called Jackass 2 wasn't already a dead giveaway your 12 year old shouldn't see it.
Granted, it is a covering your ass technique, but as I stated, they're doing it to put the responsibility in parents hands, so the only person who can be blamed for their kids playing GTA is mom and dad, not Mr. EB Employee or Mrs. FYE Employee.
Agreed, buddy. I enjoyed working at EB Games before the GameStop takeover, but after that it was dreadful. It was not a good environment to work in.
Now I have moved on to buying my games on Amazon as well. They are shipped fast, always sealed, and usually cheaper than the brick and mortar stores.
So Youngins...reserve the RP games that are sure to get an M now, but bring mommy with you to pick it up.
Only reason i can see for going as far as firing a manager is if the manager knowingly allowing he employee to break the policy, knew he was breaking the policy and did not proceed to fire them, or if he himself was breaking the policy. Other than that, i would only see a more minor form of disipline for the manager, not outright firing. The manager doesn't have a high enough amount of control to deserve that much heat.
I was a holiday temp and now have a very small part time position with EB(whoring rentals and discount!) anyways when I went into work today I saw a new post on the counter.
1) Do NOT sale M rated games to minors!
2) Do NOT accept M rated trade from minors!
3) Do NOT reserve M rated games to minors!
This is straight down from the VP of the Stores.
So I believe ALL of those will result in termination for the employee AND manager!
p.s. I was LOLing hard at the end of the article.
Sounds like the same problem a parent could face with their own children. See, it's not simply about parents being intentionally neglectful. Children can be pretty sneaky too, and how do you police their friends?

This good service is balanced out by having to endure listening to them advise customers on which X360 to purchase (Prem or Core), why the PS3 is going to smoke the 360 (this was back in October or so...) and of course, the other customers.
When I went in to buy my copy of FFVI on the GBA on Tuesday at a different EB out of state, the clerk started digging through the USED GAMES for a copy to sell me when I asked for new. I told him to stop what he was doing and get me a new sealed copy or else I'd call his district manager. I only did so because I knew what he was up to, just like it'd been discussed last week online. Selling used as new. It's pretty convenient anyway that a ZERO day release like FFVI would never be completed in a single day, so there's no way in hell I could've bought a used copy anyway, but it just bugged me all the same.
In my opinion if a parent does not know what their children are buying they shouldn't be blaming employees. That is not to say that the employee shouldn't have the common sense to realize when the minor's parents wouldn't let the kid buy it.
It's a good thing they're doing this though. But why do I have the feeling that this won't be changing too many minds about games being evil...?
I've always been of the mind that the seller be required to ask for ID for mature games. It may seem harsh to some, but I think the industry should do its best to protect itself from this potential problem.
I used to work at EB many years ago, and these kinds of sales to kids went on a lot. I used to question this, but my manager didn't care much.
SUCKS TO BE UNDER 17 EHHH
Also, not as an official rule, but employees should to ask parents who they're buying the game for, and if they know that the game is intended for people 17+ when they're obviously not buying it for themselves. I've seen some people do it when a ten year old hands the game over to Mom at the counter, and usually, the parent doesn't buy it. That's one less idiot complaining about violence and sex in video games corrupting children.
