[thelefteyeguy]

great question...i dont remember seeing tags too...but they prob a have lots of security cameras ;)

most of the expensive stuff is in enclosed displays or behind the sales person anyways

i know that high end dresses, and jackets have it secured on chains...you need to ask the sales person to try it on.

I know the old Emporio Armani store (now Daniel Leather) on Bloor had security tags for some of their stuff.

The inkpacks for sure. My friend worked there and told me how one would-be-shoplifter took some clothes in the change room and then ran out of the store with ink all over their face and hands.

Holts probably has some security tags for the lower-end stuff. The high end stuff is probably all handled by salespeople and they probably don't want the security tags to ruin the material.

most places have security tags sewn into the clothing. Even cheapo clothing like GAP has it.
Im sure the stuff @ Holts does too.

i remember as a joke on a school trip to eatons center way back in the day one of my classmates put a dye pack in a girls purse needless to say alot of people got in troble for that one.

Why, what are you and your friend planning on stealing?

There are no plastic security tags. It simply cheapens the image of the store having those on their merchandise. Customers would also have to be greeted by those metal sensor stands at their entrances - which is very unclassy for their clientele. All high end items not behind a glass enclosure are locked down by cable and the rest are not.

[zolonka]

It really depends on what the item is. The sunglasses have the metal tags wrapped around the nosepiece, and if you want to try them on with the tags off, you have to talk to the salesperson.

Also I know that Gucci doesn't have the tags on the display models, but for the new ones that they store in the cabinets to sell, they have tags on them.

The high-end designer bags that they have only a couple of don't have them, but they are locked down by the bungee cord thingys.

Shoes don't, but a lot of the accessories, like scarves and shawls have them.

I could probably go on and on, but these are just the ones off the top of my head.

I just went to Holt's today and surprisingly alot of their merchandise now have those plastic security tags on them. They never used to. I suppose theft has become a problem for them that they would resort to such devices.

uhh?? NO

everything is security tagged, and real expensive stuff is usually cabled down, or they have leather hangers on it.

I hate people like you.

[Cafe_333]

or you don't know what your talking about.. but whatever :lol:Like i said, I was only speaking based on the Holt's I frequent. Can you not even fathom the possibility that they did not used to have them before at the location I shop at?

and your is spelt as you're ...but whatever :lol:

[kingfencer]

yes, i use to work at holt's warehouse, and they do. though we don't tag them at the warehouse, i've seen some items with tags on them before we ship it to the store.

[Cruel_Angel]

No, because you’re wrong, can you not admit that? If you shopped frequent enough you would have noticed them using security tags..

As for my grammar, “your” is spelt “your”. However my use of your instead of you’re is the mistake, not my spelling..

no they dont.... some items dont have tags :P

[goob3r]

Instigator has one "a" in it. :)

[Instagator]

Instigator has one "a" in it. :)

Wow.. thanks for pointing that out.. I never heard that one before.......
o.O

Couple of years back, Instigator was taken in a forum or something, So i changed it to Instagator... stuck ever since :)

[Cruel_Angel]

no they dont.... some items dont have tags :P

maybe if somebody missed something.

[Cafe_333]

No, because you’re wrong, can you not admit that? If you shopped frequent enough you would have noticed them using security tags..And how do you know for a fact that I am wrong? You don't. You don't even know which location I shop at, and when they started using security tags. Like I said, they have them on everything now. I don't know when they started using security tags. Perhaps some of their smaller items has always had it but I never look at their small stuff. Now there is security tags on almost everything. They didn't tag everything before.

I don't need to know which location you shop at, I've been shopping at every location for years. (bloor st, sherway, yorkdale, vaugn mills and even the old last call in North York) So to answer your question, I do know your wrong. And what are you talking about with smaller stuff?? All the clothing they carry will have some sort of security device attached.
