See? this is why we dont need those retarded ass laws about more videogame inforcement.

And just speaking from personal expereicen, i used to work shifts for a friend at walmart (yeah, walmart never really cared so i just siad i was him, which was awkward becuase he was asian and a head taller then me, and i'm white so it wasnt likei could even lie) and its WAY easier then most people think to steal a game. I've seen customers do it constantly.

Not really I know there are a LOT of bus drivers and shop workers who will have doubts about people's ages but can't be bothered checking (Still able to use young person's bus card even though it's almost 2 years expired). It is their job to, but I know a lot of occasions where workers will just skip the age check to get the sale/admission done. In fact a lot of bus drivers don't even look at what you pay them so they can get their shift over with

...Your point being? Some people arent doing there job right, so why should anyone else?

I am no supporter of "fascist" policies when it comes to employment. But some of you are acting like complete idiots.

Right...because I was suggesting nobody do their job right...hail the fascist regime...

What I was trying to say was that the 20% could very likely be down to these people who don't do their jobs right since they just want to get the day done. And that it isn't terribly unusual to find said people

Not "he doesn't do his job properly, so why should we?" - seriously where did you even get that from?

You said my first post was "retarded" and then used the word "idiots" there - if you're going to come back with stuff like that at least try to get what the person is trying to say

Lot of shit; game retailers don't care who they sell games to, as long as they get the money they carry.

Normally I don't say this, but you are wrong.

If I sell a violent game to a minor, I lose my job. This is true for pretty much every retail outlet. From Wal-Mart, to Best Buy, to Gamestop, and any retailer that sells games.

cept Target(its the one bringing the statistic down)

when i worked there we never had a policy to ask a person age(nor have i ever heard anyone getting ask there age there)
