    Arrow Anyone know....

    how to get those plastic alarm innk tags off clothes? I bought a bunch of stuff Saturday and they got all the tags off except one. Am I gonna have to go back to that stripper store and get them to take it off or is there another way? I really dont want to have to drive 45 minutes to the store.

    I've never personally heard of anyone being able to get one off successfully without the machine to remove it. Generally those tags leak ink all over the products if you try to remove them by hand. You probably should call the store to let them know, I'd tell them they need to reimburse you for gas or give you some store credit for the mistake since you are so far out of the way.

    Additionally you could:
    1.) Take it (with your receipt) to another store with an ink tag remover & ask them to remove it.
    2.) Try to remove it on your own & take the chance that the ink may leak.
    3.) Ask this store to ship you a new piece of clothing in the same color/style/size & ship back the one you got at the store.

    If you want to try removing it on your own:

    Saw this comment which looked like a good idea to do BEFORE you try to remove the tag:
    "You can put it in the freezer and the ink wont explode."
    Don't you ever sleep?
    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    ^Some do, others simply spray ink if you try to remove them. I think some do both.

    a lot of stores have security systems that don't actually work (broken, fake, or incompatible with all or some of the devices attached to merchandise). they just know that no one will steal shit if it's got an ink tag because everyone knows how pointless that would be.
