I donāt collect stamps.
*Okay.* Iāve had quite a few people ask me about my methods for hiding tags. I donāt hide tags. I take them with me.
Pictured above are fewer than a quarter of the tags weāve collected over the course of a couple months since weāve gotten our magnet in the mail. Weāve gotten RFIDS, a slew of super tags we disposed of (theyāre very large and not practical to keep), ink tags, golf tags, pencil tags, you name it. I didnāt beep taking ANY of these tags with me. Not once!
Iāve easily carried ten plus tags into a store and not made a sound. Dozens of times. Left with a concealed tag a hundred times without beeping.
What Iāve done is layered a Ziploc container in THREE layers of foil, individually taping each one. Make sure the top has the same amount of foil too! Nothing should be left uncovered! This will counteract the tag detection of the towers.
Everything Iāve read online has suggested using more foil, some people even say to use ten to twenty layers. Seriously? Weāve used three. I havenāt beeped at American Eagle, Express, Abercrombie, Aritzia, Garage, Cleoās, Ann Taylor, Urban Outfitters, J Crew, Adidas (walking in with a bunch of tags), Payless, just to name a very short few off the top of my head.
You can use any container youād like! Make it non-suspicious! We havenāt gotten around to making a better one yet. Put the foil on the inside! Make it invisible!
I detag in the dressing room, and place tags in the container. This stops the beeping, I can abandon the container if need be, itās less likely to be noticed by employees and doesnāt make any crinklimg sounds at all! If youāre taking tags anyway, you have a magnet. So just detag in store. Donāt bother wrapping your whole bag. Waste of time and way more suspicious.
Iām getting really sick of all this double tagging non sense. Stop leaving behind your evidence. Youāre already getting a felon charge if youāre carrying a magnet and removing security tags. Donāt pretend youāre a fucking angel because tin foil is somehow any more scary. Get over yourself. Maybe Iām more *illegal* than you (whatever helps you sleep at night) but I wonāt be caught because sales associates call the police next time Iām in store after repeated instances of me leaving a dressing room of double tagged items. Miss me with your superiority. It is SO misplaced.
