Season cards setting off security sensors in supermarkets

[Cheets]

Every time I left Aldi or Sainsbury's, or several shops in town, the security sensors would go off and everyone would look at me. I wasn't sure if it was my phone, my work pass or the key fob for my car. Eventually I took my SUFC season cards out of my wallet and it stopped happening. Anyone else have this problem?

Wooden Seats. Definately.

No, but it did happen when I accidentally put 3 bottles of malt whiskey, a beef roasting joint and 6 packets of razor blades into my rucksack.

We've all done it.

This is odd because they're just the same type of NFC tag as a contactless debit/credit card or a bus pass etc

I definitely don't have the same problem with credit/debit cards or bus pass.

Never knew Richard Madeley was a Blade.

Are you Richard Madeley by any chance?

Yes. I get this in one Tesco I frequent. I've always thought it was the car key fob, but I shall now conduct a closely controlled experiment by standing next to the doors and waving the season card randomly at the sensors.

No such problems with mine in Matalan, Poundland or the British Heart Foundation.

No but I think I shagged Judy Finnegan once after a night at the hacienda, circa 1989, pre baggy face.(Her's not mine)

Did coincide with stopping pinching stuff, if it did it may not be your card

Ah - that must be it. Thanks!

Can't afford their stuff mate.

I was just killing time browsing in Matalan until Oxfam opened.

Its just to signal to the general public that we are Premier League

 

[Tunstall Fred]

In keeping with our new status, I now only shop at Waitrose and Coles

 

[Westran]

I get it with my work pass in Sports Direct.

May I say, this is a very inoffensive preseason thread.

Thought it was the opening two lines from a John Cooper Clarke piece of work.
Quite frankly, fabulous alliteration by the OP.

Yes! Glad it’s just not me. I think Tesco have an e-fit of my kite behind every counter in the country now.

Ain't that just like me?

I'm obviously not the sharpest tool in the box as this quip has gone over my head ☹

Has to be a forthcoming HMHB lyric.

It happened yesterday when I entered the very Tesco in Stanwell where I did hard labour for 8 years. I wondered what could have triggered it.

Anyway, here's a plan. You go in, set the alarm off with your season ticket, then go over to the security guard and explain all to him, maybe even giving him another demonstration. You then make sure you say, "Of course, it will happen again on the way out, so I thought I'd better let you know."

When you're doing your shopping you then fill every pocket, bag, and orifice with security tagged goods before leaving the store, remembering to give the guard a knowing nod as you light up like a Christmas tree on the way out.
