How do you take security tags off?

[aquababe]

bought a pair off trousers in tescos about 6 months ago and they have just got round to fitting dd went to put them on and have noticed they still have security tag on.
surprised I wasn't stopped on the way out the shop but never mind

Any one know how to get them on.
don't have reciept otherwise I could take them back to tescos

any ideas ?

I thought they might ping of with a magnet like in the shop but no.

pair of sorry

take them back

do you have any friends that work in a shop and could do it for you?

tis the only way

if you force it open, sometimes they are filled with dye (which goes all over the clothes) to stop shoplifters

you've done nothing wrong - you paid for them

I've had to do this at Sainsburys. No-one batted an eyelid.

you don't need a receipt at Tesco, it'll be their own label and they're very good.

its a grey looking thing don't think it's filled with dye but I guess I could damage it if forced,

I once bought a skirt fron Next for my dd which she wore for a party.At the party people were looking at me funny like. I wondered what it was.

When I took skirt off at night I noticed the tag was still on!! everyone must have thought I pinched it!! I took it back and they took it off

some tips here whacking with a hammer features

I had this, came off easily with some pliers. Mine was rectangular and grey and didn't have dye in it.

Was tesco as well, they obviously make a habit of it

I took some sleepsuits back to exchange at Tescos that someone had bought me without a receipt. Put them in my pram basket but not in a bag, asked at customer services and they said I would have to change them at the desk in the clothing department. So I went in and picked up a larger size and handed both packs over and they just took the smaller size back and put the larger size in a bag for me. Only later did I think how suspicious it might have looked. They are good in there.

On the other hand, DH removed a dye filled security tag from House of Fraser once-what a rave. Just take the item back.

I have some knickers with a magnetic tag in the crotch. They came with a set I bought from Ann Summers some time ago. Can you not use a magnet then? That's my plan out of the window then.

This happened to me once.

A pair of pliers did the trick

Thanks for that site southeast astra lots of ideas will have a semigentle play
otherwise will take it back to a different tescos to the one I normally frequent just in case

This happened to my mum before and someone suggested she burnt the lumpy bit with a lighter and a spring appeared then get a paid of scissors to pull the spring out - voila!

While we're on the subject - anyone have any tips on how to disable the alarm system at the Bank of England?

We-ell, since you ask...

Seriously, pliers will be fine, doesn't even take that much effort!
(That's to the security tag BTW, Bank of England - have you tried some vaseline and warm water?)
