Ack! Security tag left on shirt from WDW...UPDATE

[Anne MN]

is the tag white/cream in color? does it look kind of like a rectangle and have a small round disk on the inside? if so, go to walmart, that is one kind that is used there.

Ink tags don't beep. They are supposed to deter shoplifters because the item wouldn't be able to be used if ink were to splatter all over the shoplifted item.

I don't know if the tag on the prom dress was an ink tag or not, but my point was that it didn't set off the alarm when we left David's Bridal, nor when we returned to David's Bridal to have it removed, but the same tag DID set off the alarm when we walked into Filene's.

It's just round, and says "Warning. Tampering with INKMATE releases ink and could cause injury."

One thing I don't get about security tags...how come they don't always set off the alarm in the store you buy the item in? How'd we get out of World of Disney with it on? How'd we get out of David' Bridal (and then back in) with it on DD's prom dress? So much for security.

Yep, the sensor didn't go off when we left Nordstrom with our Easter dress or when we entered Walmart.
I wish it would have worked. It would have saved a harried trip trying to get it taken care of in time.
I was just at Nordstrom last night and didn't see anything with those same sensors on. Maybe that speaks to their reliability, or lack thereof.


I swear the security sensor goes off so often at our local Robinson-May store that no one even pays attention to it anymore.
I had it go off on me one day and I had to hunt down a clerk to go through my bag. We never did find anything. Don't know what set the stupid thing off.


About the ink tags - I'm guessing if people are going to steal the stuff in the first place, they're probably going to perfect tag removal techniques too.
