Gamestop and GTA IV - The ID Debacle

"As if Gamestop doesn't do enough things to look stupid… I was picking up my copy of GTA IV Special Edition this morning for PS3 at my local Gamestop. Another guy was there buying the game off the shelf. Both of us got ID'd to buy the game. I look nowhere near 17, but whatever. The guy next me asks "Are you kidding?" The follow up reply from the old guy behind the counter waiting on me was "We're not taking any chances with this game."

Ok, you might say. As soon as the other guy leaves, a kid walks up to the counter to buy a used copy of Call of Duty 4. The kid was no more than 4 feet tall and couldn't have been older than 13 or 14. Did he get ID'd? Nope. When I asked the guy behind the counter why not, I was told "We're only worried about GTA.""
