I took it easy on him. Really, really easy on him. But enough of this tripe. You guys go back to complaining about a retail chain that you all actually like but continue to complain about.

Both parties know it is a pointless formality. I'm sure it is awkward/irritating for the employee, too. I know I would become annoyed if I was forced to ask for the ID of everyone from 15 to 80.
I dunno about GS, but a lot of registers are programmed to require a birth date to be entered if a certain item is scanned.

I remember when I worked at Wal*Fart I wouldn't card older folks buying cigs and beer and would just enter something like 1/1/50 as the birth date.

If they see a younger child (11>) buying a M rated game they first tell the parent the game is meant for 17+. Then after the parent has acknowledged that (most parents of gamers have a general idea of a what M rated games contain) they then, w/ out request, read the specific details of why it's rated M. I know I might be blowing this out of proportion but this damn technique lost me a bunch of games when I was younger like RDR and Resistance FOM.
wow you must be young, when i was a kid i bought all the GTA games myself (I was a freshman in highschool when GTA 3 came out) oh great now im starting to sould like an old man "Back in my day..."
I'm 17, dude. My Gamestop still does this but I'm talking about back when I was in 6th-8th grade. My local shop will sell M rated games to me. I thought It was against the law to sell M rated games to minors?
If I'm clean shaven I still get carded for games. It doesn't help that I'm super skinny due to health issues so I look about 16.

Good grief man. :lol:
Sable! That was her name.

I lost my virginity four years before I "read" a Playboy.

Wait...No, that's about right. I had hidden Playboys in Gamepro magazines since the 6th grade at Waldenbooks, but never owned a Playboy until I was 18.

My friends and I would take a Gamepro, jump and grab a Playboy (sometimes unsuccessfully) and slide it in the Gamepro for viewing. We were desperate to see boobs at that age.

So yeah. Um Game Stop.
Haha, I actually remember that Playboy. I think I was around 14 maybe? One of my friends got their hands on it because we were all WWF fans. It was a big deal at the time.

Yep, I said I'm not into blonde bimbo types, about a random model on T.V. That has nothing personal to do with you.

You, on the other hand, took a shot at my wife. Way too personal and over the line. And if it were real life, we'd already be past discussing this. So quite trying to sugar-coat and comb over it like your shit don't stink.

Nerp. No I didn't. At all. I would never make fun of your wife. So pull a stranger's finger.

And I don't appreciate the fact you make fun of me for having one hand.

It was a HUGE deal when it came out. It was as if Megan Fox did a spread for the magazine. Every hetero dude wanted to see Sable naked, and would pay $5.00 (if I remember correctly) for the publication.

wait how can a MILF be "average"? Doesn't the term MILF already imply that the women is attractive (ie: above average)?

time for bed

MILF stands for Mom I'd Like To Fuck. It doesn't necessarily mean that she is above average. It just means that she's a mother that I'd love to fuck. He is saying that Sable was considered to be extremely attractive. So I googled her name and compared her to today's average MILF adult actress. I concluded that she wasn't super attractive.

Nope, you didn't at all. You just made a snide remark about someone's wife. You're the winner of the internet for bringing someone's family into it. Good job, pat yourself on the back for proving yourself right at the expense of looking like a little bitch.

You're also fucking retarded if you can't tell difference between making a comment about a model on T.V., and making a comment about someone's wife. And I know you aren't retarded. I know you know you'd be asking for fight if you said that in real life. So you gonna keep acting all innocent, like nobody can read into what you said up there?
