Got home from shopping and discovered that they left one of those anti-theft tags on. An ink tag at that. So I had to remove it without destroying it and letting the ink explode. Be sure to check out Part 2 when I take it apart.
I have seen people literally burn these tags off! For anyone without a powerful magnet or doesnt want burn their clothes, hands or house down then just get a pair small scissors, cutters and cut the part of the tag covering the ink. its thin brittle plastic I literally broke it apart with my hands after 2-3 small snips with side cutters.
Oops. My company I work for uses these exact tags 😬 and yes they will make a horrible mess if you take em off carelessly. It gets everywhere and is very bright. Stained my shoes when I dropped one and it cracked
