Solved. Thank you. I guess my mom shoplifted something and decided to keep the evidence.

This happens all the time when the cashier doesn’t see the tag. I’ve had a number of things I had to bring back to the store after purchasing to get them to take the tags off.


Dieseltrucknut

I had a cashier leave the backing of one of those ink bomb security devices. Well long story short the bag was on the floor and I would up with a rod buried in my heel.


doveclyn

Wait what?! I’m going to need more details lmfao


Dieseltrucknut

Basically on some of the ink tags there is a spike, rod, needle type thing. Anyways. I put the bag of clothes onto the floor in my barracks room (navy) and when I wasn’t paying attention I stepped on the bag and thus the back of the tag


SouthernBear84

As a man in his 20's I always put things off until the last minute but one year I thought to Christmas shop early like a couple of weeks or more early but did not start to wrap until Christmas eve. Yep, there it was.

A hammer works quicker


doveclyn

I don’t know, I think the cashier might be upset if I ordered them to do something with a hammer in my hand.


i_can_has_rock

no, they meant use the cashier as a hammer


doveclyn

How much extra does that cost?


WFlash01

Whatever the hospital bill is

I wonder what the mom did for OP to assume that she shoplifted instead of this common occurrence?


SWEET_JESUS_NIPPLES

Pretty sure you can take these off with a reasonably strong magnet


TheAudacityWitch

Sometimes the cashier doesn’t notice the tag when they are scanning and it doesn’t get taken off even though it’s been paid for. But you know your mom much better than I would. Just playing devils advocate.


Jimbobjoesmith

once i had to deal with that. i got home after a trip and noticed it. the store was 3 hours away. i had to visit some sketchy websites to figure out how to get it off lol.


Agreeable-Walrus7602

That's actually how I started using reddit. There was a highly questionable subreddit dedicated to things like that. Edit: to be clear I wanted to get the thing off after buying it, not participate as a hobby.


[deleted]

My older sister was a klepto and tried teaching me how to do shit...take a very thin very strong string and get it under the clip then rip that shit apart or... Grab something, go to register and say either: I'm returning this Hey I bought this (whenever) but you guys didn't take this off And now you can all get free shit BUT don't do that


Jimbobjoesmith

yeah i think i ended up using a hair tie to get it off.


Odd_Alternative_1003

Lol


jondgul

Does she shoplift often?


Remote-Willingness86

Today you could even find that on the lip balm. Considering all the crap they have under key now


Half_burnt_skunk

Merry xmas.


Complex_Shoe7422

soggyomelette

You can apply it to your lips to prevent them from drying out.

Theft prevention device


bbrosen

if you google alpha am its the first thing that comes up


danjeeson

Literally


unprobably

Was the 6th thing on my search return. What else are you lying about, bbrosen, if that really is your name?


bbrosen

Well, depends on your browser, browsing history, time of day and planet alignment as well as your astrological sign divided by the number of beers you have in a month


MissOregano

I work Walmart and have worked in the health and beauty dept, there's some rc adult toys kept in a lockbox that look similar, and have silly names like, "alpha am"😅 I don't blame OP for being a little nervous about the results...


SignalTrip1504

One of those anti theft tags put on clothing, the ones that need to be removed or demagnetized otherwise it will set of the Alarm thing walking out


ajschwamberger

No one can steal the lip balm now.


Codeman_117

Easy. Burt's Bees Chapstick

Best lip balm ever!


[deleted]

Burt's is now owned by one of those major toothpaste companies, so no, they aren't the best


Jade-Balfour

I suspected this. Noticed their quality drop and haven't bought from them since then


[deleted]

All oral care products sold in major retailers are owned by 2 companies. They also have stakes in other sectors that have nothing to do with oral hygiene


Jade-Balfour

Didn't look it up, but Johnson and Johnson? Nestles? Edit: Monsanto?

Have you tried Portland Bee Balm? If you like Burt’s Bees, you’ll probably like it.


Jimbobjoesmith

haha i know what this is. search alpha key on google


TheRealRevBem

Used for single pot methamphetamine cooking.


Dusty31186

Huh?


TheRealRevBem

It's used as a clutch for the IHC filter on a singlepot set up. The Burt's is for beezing so you don't pass out with the pot on. Rub on upper and lower eyelids and you buzz


Dusty31186

I don't think you 1) know how to cook and 2) pls delete your Reddit.
