TOTAL VOTES			97359

What do you think?

IT's a store policy not to sell to minors, and it's a store policy to fire people who sell to minors apparently. I think zero tolerance is a bit harsh, and I SERIOUSLY doubt this is enforced, but I'm not horribly bothered by the policy.

There are similar policies that have been in place in retail for R-Rated videos for a couple decades now, and while I think firing someone for slipping up once is stupid, I do think this is probably a smart move in terms of keeping parents off your ass.
