Stephen is feeling puny, so we hit the drugstore and, since we’re RIGHT HERE ANYWAY, the bookstore. As we walked in the door, the shoplifting alarm went off. Freep! We tried it again — FREEP! A-ha! One of us was obviously sporting a renegade RFID tag that was tripping it off. Nope, not me. Stephen. Turns out there was an RFID tag embedded into a label sewed into his new jeans. So, note to you all — when you buy clothing, make sure you check the inside for a tag that says “remove before wearing”. Otherwise, the bookstore staff will have to come investigate every time you get too close to the exit and FREEP!
The good thing – this tag survived washing no problem, and was soft and relatively flexible. Yes, it was definitely passive, but you know where I’m going with this, Mol…
Oh, DAMN! That's great. Do you know who the manufacturer is or the distributor? We need to find them.
Everything you buy at Banana Republic, Club Monaco, etc. contains these tags now. I had the same problem with a J.Jill dress, which is why I've known about them for years…
