Ugh, that's more frustrating than when they forget to decode the electronic beeper and you buzz as you're leaving the store. Just don't try to take it off yourself... I've heard stories of people who did that when the store forgot to remove it and it was not pretty, LOL.
Good luck!
That has happened to us...three times... at JC Penney's. I now pad down the clothes before we leave.
Be sure to take your receipt. The first time was on a jacket for DN for christmas, they gave us the third degree, kept checking the receipt and asking questions.
The 2nd time wasn't quite as bad.
The 3rd time I couldn't find the receipt, once I realized the ink tag was still there, so i didn't bother taking them back
Our closest Penney's is an hour away.
My daughter bought a pair of pants at Macy's at The Mall of America & we discovered the security was still attached after we were back in Michigan. There is no Macy's anywhere around here so we had to ship them back to Minnesota with the receipt & wait for them to be returned.
Wow Lars, I guess my 30 minute drive isn't so bad. The MOA is an hour from here, so Macy's wouldn't have been so bad for me either LOL. I always keep my receipts, so that's cool. I reallly wanted to wear them last night though LOL.
