I agree, it's a poor policy. The employee should be fired. Managers should only be fired for repeat cases. Maybe 3 strikes and your out if you're employees keep selling M rated games to minors, as that would show that they are not training the employees hard enough to card people and not sale to those under 17.

I wish I could've trained on something as sophisticated as Halo.
During my shooting sprees as a young boy, my self-esteem was crushed by a laughing dog.

So that's where The Angry Video Game Nerd gets his fanbase from.

You guys remember the original Duck Hunt arcade game where there was a bonus stage or between levels bonus where you could shoot the hell out of the dog and he would then come in at the beginning of the next stage with crutches and his leg in a cast.

edit to add: at the bottom of here: http://nindb.classicgaming.gamespy.com/ac/vdh.shtml

It's not a simple "M-rated game sold? FIRED!" Situation. They do look into it to make sure it's not a vengeful employee trying to get his boss in trouble. Although, with my current regional manager, I think he'd fire me just for looking at him funny, so who knows.
