How do you get rid of security tags?

Question

I bought a shirt yesterday and the stupid clerk forgot to take the tag thing off. how do I get it off, besides having to go back to the store to get it off?

it's small and rectangular with a round red top. can I just smash it off with a hammer, or will that ruin my shirt? I'm not sure if it's an ink tag or anything..thanks!!

Answer 1

It probably is an ink tag. I'vee heard that if you freeze it it wont make a mess. I'm not sure though.

Answer 2

Honey if I were you I'd take it back to the store and asked them nicely to remove it. This happened to my daughter recently. She took it back with her receipt and they took it off and apologized. So may thieves try to take them off after they have stolen them and it ruins the clothes. I don't know why people would steal because God sees all.

Answer 3

It is an ink tag. If you smash it it's ruined and so is the area where you smash it. They are sometimes on the seam and you can try putting a LITTLE tear in it and slipping it off that way. Then just sew the LITTLE tear. Or take it to a different store and see if they'll take it off if for some reason you dont wanna go back to where it came from.
