In a conference call held late last week, managers were informed of the new, stricter M-rated software sales policy. Selling a game to a minor and getting caught will result in immediate termination. But it gets better -- if an hourly employee sells an M-rated game to a minor, not only will he or she lose their job, but the salaried store manager will be terminated as well, even if they were not present in the store at the time of the sale.

I mean firing the Manager is unfair either way. But firing him/her even if they aren't on duty at the time 
But it's good that they're implementing plans to take some responsibility. But firing the manager is not the right move
