  1. Only in tags... by SwansonMarpalum · · Score: 0, Troll

    What's to prevent someone from cutting the tag out of the garment and tossing the chip after purchasing it? (Or for the thieves it's intended to stop, before stealing it?) I cut all the tags out of my clothing anyways as they irritate me and I see absolutely no benefit to keeping them in.
