I can't think too much about an article that you've not linked to, for one. I have no idea what QJ PS3 is.
Your second sentence really makes no sense, either.
However, it sounds like the clerk was doing exactly what he's supposed to be doing. If they were both teenagers, and neither of them had ID (again, we need details), he's supposed to deny the purchase to them.
Now, if one was 17+ and had ID, he technically could sell it to him, even if they make it clear the game is for the younger kid. I know at Toys R Us it's supposed to end there, but maybe Best Buy has some extra policy attached where they can't sell games if the minor is there at all.
Remember, just because most clerks don't care doesn't mean the rule doesn't exist. The more clerks that follow it, the better off the game industry will be, as the ratings will carry more weight with parents, preventing idiot lawyers from suing to make M-rated games even more restricted than they already are.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
