Good morning so far- came into work to find a quart of Vermont maple syrup AND a new Natter thread!

Wow. You're having a good Thursday, Nora.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It's quiet... for now. TOO quiet.
Anyway. I did something dumb. I bought a pretty black sweater at the local discount place, and when I got home I found the anti-theft device still attached. It never occurred to me to check if the cashier removed it! Now what? If I take it back to get it removed, they'll think I stole it! Damn. Anyone know how to remove these things, or what to do here?

If you have the receipt, it shouldn't be an issue...?

Note: I have been known to return the item altogether because of the inconvenience of having to return back to the store to get the tag off.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I've had that happen and not had a problem. Possibly even without the receipt, due to my looking like a respectable white person.

Because books.
That happened all the time when I worked at H&M, Zen. If you have your receipt, it's no big. Once I actually removed a security sensor from something a customer bought at Macy's when they walked in and beeped -- they had a receipt, and we had the same security tags.

I don't think I have the receipt anymore, alas. Maybe I'll put on a nice respectable outfit and try it.

Zen, if you have the bag that it came it, that might be helpful as well.
