Security Tag :(

Surely you have the receipt? So if you go into another clothes shop, show the receipt and it won't look dodgy?

£50 for a polo shirt? It's the OP that's been robbed here...

We used to give people a £5 voucher if they came in with an ink tag left on.

So free shirt, and a £5 voucher? Awesome.

If you can afford it, why not?

A fool and his money are easily parted.

Where do you live? I know of a good few JD stores around, some pretty far from Cardiff so I'm willing to bet Cardiff isn't your only option!

Can you stick it in the freezer to freeze the ink then hack it off? I'm just thinking out loud here.

Haha, we'd give them a voucher if they brought the item in with a receipt, so no, not a free item!

This was the Disney Store - they'll do anything to keep their Guests (customers) happy! Can't get much for a fiver anyway

The glass in the tags is VERY thin so that it smashes easily to let the ink out- used to get them breaking a lot in store. So I don't know whether the glass would smash in the freezer...

I live in Somerset, I didn't know there was one in WSM or Exeter - Cheers!

I'm gonna head in to town tomorrow and try Debenhams and places like that see if they can take it off. Also gonna ring JD up and complain, its ridiculous, if this was America I would have sued

To be fair Popo and Lacost shirts do seem to be decent quality and a good fit.

Bought another make recently and it is a weird shape.

I recently had a security tag left on a suit jacket (ordered online!) and couldn't be bothered driving 40 miles to get it taken off. Used a few hard drive magnets to get it off. It's just a ring of metal ball bearings holding the ridged pin in.

Freeze in liquid nitrogen, there wont be enough time for it to leak.

Steeps · 30 Apr 2011 at 21:09

Make a cut in the material near the tag to get it off, then unstitch the alligator and sew it back ontop of where the tag was? :confused:

Hitman_Leon · 30 Apr 2011 at 21:12

Break tag off under running water?

I know nothing, wild stab in dark.

Adam_151 · 30 Apr 2011 at 21:14

pair of sharp side cutters/cable croppers on the pin?, hold the shirt above the tag outside so it does break it just goes on the floor

post broken tag back to store without any stamps to return the inconvience

Go to LHC and borrow their magnets?

dbilsborough · 30 Apr 2011 at 21:22

let it go off and pretend it's a global hypercolour one (for the older members that remember them)
