"wire snippers"
Yeah, they're usually secured with a thin steel wire, see if you can snip through it.
Failing that just tell your party guests that you're a pikey and you stole the bottle :o) |

got banned from tesco last week coz of a security tag. Bought a phone charger with one on. Went thru the self service checkout but it flash up customer assistance needed so put it in my bag and left. Of course the alarm went off so got chased by the security guard, most arrogant git i have ever met. You have to come back into the store he says, right up in my personal space leaning forward, very intimidating. My natural reaction to this is feck you, so i refused. Spent 5 minutes arguing with him until he eventualy admitted he had no legal right to stop and question me. Can i see your shopping he says, no. Can i see your reciept he says, no. I will have to call the manager then he says. No worries if he gets here before i leave we can have a chat. Same conversation with manager, same result. Manager threatens to report me to the police so i offer to ring them there and then, no problem with police searching my bags or inspecting my reciept but he isn't. Manager advises me to shop elswhere in future and is not accusing me of stealing anything but just wants their security tag back. Oh why didn't you say i replied. Took the charger out of my bag and gave it to him. He and guard walk off with it so i call them back and ask how do i know i will get the charger back and they aren't going to teal it off me. Come with us then the manager says, by which time i am really struggling to keep a staight face. Back into the store where they remove the security tag and give me back the charger. You still haven't seen the reciept so how do you know i paid for it i asked. It was a bit wicked but i haven't had that much fun with my clothes on for ages. |

You found that fun?, what a waste of their time and yours....sorry but I think conflict for the sake of it is a bit of a nonsense. |
