    Finding a standard tag inside inside the fancy shell shouldn’t come as any surprise, but I’m surprised the retail loss ratio for a pair of $20 gloves can support that much hardware.

    I went through the self-checkout area and didn’t do anything special, so either those lanes don’t have tag scanners or the tags are security theater.
