A few years back I remember reading a rant from some parent (I think it was on the JA forums) who whas complaining about age restriction policies in video game stores.
The details are pretty sketchy, but from what I can remember, his 2 teenage sons (I think they were around 13 ) had tried to buy a video game with an 18 rating - the shop assistant refused to sell the game to them as they were clearly not 18 - a few minutes later when they gave the game to their parents to buy for them, the assistant even refused to sell it them!
The adults complained to the manager of the store and he still would not sell them the game, claiming that he knew that they would give it to their kids to play!!
The parents left the store feeling very angry, but decided to return a cuople of days later and actually bought the game from the very assistant who had earlier refused to sell it to them!
