They are trying to pass a law where if someone sells an M rated game to a minor, that person who sold them the game can get into major trouble (it almost feels like when kids need to get carded for booze) and I'm not going to go to jail because sonme punk ass kid can't get his/her parent to come in and get the game.  Besides, its fun to card them, especially when you KNOW that they are younger. Had a few kids that were 14 trying to get GTA San Andreas. I see them in the store with the box and I laugh to myslef, knowing that I'm about to ruin their day.  And then when I tell them that they need an ID or a parent, while in the store, they ask older kids/adults to get the game for them! Ah, what a scene.And no, I've never been carded because we didn't have this crap when I was younger. We didn't blame our faults and killing sprees on video games. |

Well, if you're stupid enough to ask other people IN THE STORE to buy the game for you...  Oy.If the parent(s) feels that the child's mature enough to play the game, then go ahead and buy it for him/her. Otherwise, T.S.  |

| I personally think there should be a strict carding system. I don't want an 8 year old playing god damned M rated games. | |||

| We have to ask the parent if its okay if their child can buy an M rated game and most say yes, that they know their child so well. But then, take this example. GTA: San Andreas comes out and its popular, even by those who have no clue what it really is. I had these two kids, maybe around 12 or so, who wanted the game. Their mother was with them, and I told them what the game has in. Now, all she was told was that it was a "racing game", which, if you know the game, it does has some racing to it, but that's not the whole story. So when I told her, she was shocked and the kids couldn't get the game. Now to trade in games at my store, doesn't matter the age, but I think we should start. Some cases, we'll get someone who is underage, who will trade in games that either isn't their's, or their siblings stuff. Then we get these angry parents that come in and tell us what their son/daughter has done. But then again, shouldn't the kids have known better due to their parents job on raising them right? But whatcha gonna do? |

And then I would laugh at you and tell you to grow up. Oh wait...you're still under 17, so really, you shouldn't grow up yet.  Hey, bitch all you want, I'm not going to lose my job (or worse) because underage kids want to buy these games. I don't like the system, but I have to follow it. |

| A whiny kid wouldn't do anything but probably make it worse. Bribery by the truck load would solve that. (edited by Holy Knight on 01-11-05 04:09 AM) |

| Parents get really really annoyed when I ID their kids though. This kid tried to buy San Andreas off me and I IDed him. His mom came up and started bitching at me. I tell the whole 'I'm just doing my job' thing, she just gives me the money and says 'Whats the big deal, he's nearly sixteen anyway.' Yeah.... but the game's an 18, so I was fucking right. The number of parents who come in and say 'Oh well he's seen it all before' just boggles me, since I know damn well they're letting their 6/7/8 year old kids play these games. Where I work, you can be any age to trade in, but you have to be over 16 with proper ID to get cash. |

Originally posted by Anya I'm 20. Thanks for being discredible though .And secondly, you could lose your job from not telling a mother that GTA  A is innappropriate for children?  You really aren't breaking the law by doing nothing at all . |

| I've been IDd only once before, and that was for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. I understand where assistants come from, being one myself, but it is nonetheless frustrating when it happens. Chad works for the same store now, so whenever I buy any games, it'll be from her. The last 18 rated game I bought was Duke Nukem 3d for the Sega Saturn. If anyone has any comments about that game, it's miles better than Quake and has Deathtank on it to boot. Well worth buying! (edited by Kasumi-Astra on 01-15-05 09:34 PM) |
