[bige14]

Hi I was just wondering has anyone ever worn a Steel/Metal Chasity Cage to a CVS Pharmacy - did it set the door alarm off or not - l mean the door alarm that deters shoplifting?



If did set off the door alarm please tell me your experince

If it did not set off the door please tell me you experience

Yes, I have, many times, and the alarm did not go off. As you said, this is to deter shoplifting. It's not a metal detector. People walk in and out of there all day long with cell phones, big key rings; all kinds of metal stuff in their pockets and purses without setting off any alarms.

just seems strange i was working one before i went into work the was a cvs - and i only had my car keys and phone, and wearing a belt and i walked and door alarm went off it did the same thing when i left - either they were having issues with or the sensitivity was set too high

A lot of stores have RFID tags on the merchandise. This is to flag those walking through the alarm without having paid for it. The tags are deactivated or removed at the cash register

It's possible your phone set it off, but I'm just guessing.

Yes, I have, many times, and the alarm did not go off. As you said, this is to deter shoplifting, by detecting those little anti shoplifting tags. It's not a metal detector. People walk in and out of CVS's all day long with cell phones, big key rings; all kinds of metal stuff in their pockets and purses without setting off any alarms.

I've walked into a bank in Mike's Spikes and had no problem.

I've been into court, through borders, planes, concerts and every shop my wife can think of. Never set anything off.

The Airport and cruise ports were a bit scary to be honest and I did hold my breath. I actually did a victory dance on the other side much to C's amusement.
The truth is, even if they did check me over I wasn't concerned because I wasn't smuggling or bringing in contraband or a weapon. I see it in the same Ballpark as multiple piercings, body jewelry etc.
I'm not at all ashamed of it.
