i was refused to be sold a game...

Before i begin my story i must say i dont really look 18, i actually dont sound 18 either, but i am....A couple weeks ago i bought my 360. The PX didnt have a decent game on the shelf so i went to Wal-Mart instead. I asked the person in the electronic department to get me a few games from the case. Douche Bag:"which ones?" Me:"uhhh Gears of War and..." Douche Bag: "Nope.....anything else". I thought he was kidding. Me:"Hahah...yeah and  Chromehounds...". He takes Chromehounds out of the case and makes his way to the register. Me:"Uhhh i need Gears of War also...". Douche Bag:"No", Me:"Why not", Him:"Because your not 18..." Me: Bull****", i show him my lisence. He looked at it for a minute and asked "How tall are you?". I dont rly keep track of how tall i am nor do i care. I said "im not sure, about 5' 6". He hands my lisence back and says "nope". My lisence says 5'8. Im sorta P.O'ed. My Gamestore is just across the street. So i go back to the car and tell my dad to take me there. He decides to go in and talk to the guy. My dad asks him if i showed and I.D and the guys says it could have been my brother and says i could'nt even answer a simple question, i showed him a 2nd form of I.D and he grabbed Gears out of the case and goes to the register. I handed the guy my debit card to pay he says "no, he has to pay for it" talking about my dad...My dad then asks "dont you have to be 18 to even have a debit card?" The guy says "nope". I finally ended up getting the game and even paying for it myself but it was very annoying and i dont think the guy was doing his job very well...i'm not sure i will purchase anymore games from there.Well thanks for reading my story ^.^

Lol i would have told him to piss off. Thats ridiculous!

I've been asked for ID'd for the strangest of things. Pepsi, J20 and silly string (yes, silly string) are amongst some of the most annoying I've encountered.

In your case I can't blame the guy for doing his job, but he didn't have to be such a tool about it.

A lot of retailers will have rules about carding people who look under a certain age.  I know at Circuit City, they are supposed to ask for ID any time they sell a M rated gamed, R rated movie, or Parental Advisory CD if the customer looks under the age of 25.  If you looked really young, and you could not answer a question about "yourself" on your driver's license, then I may have refused sale to you as well. 

I remember we had some kids come in and try to purchase GTA: San Andreas.  We refused sale to them so they went out to their car and got their Grandmother to come in and purchase the game for them.  About a week later, the mother came back and was angry that we had sold the game to her children.  We told her that we didn't sell the game to her children we sold it to their grandmother.
