If a stick a cheaper barcode over the real barcode, would scanning the cheap barcode be enough to deactivate any potential tags in the item/packaging?
Hmmm. I actually donât know much about the deactivation process, like if it needs to match that specific barcode or not. Assuming that you donât mean hard tags or anything along the lines thatâs going to require an employee to take them off. Sorry đ¤ˇđźââď¸ you could try digging through the internet for answers. If you find out, let me know Iâm curious too.
This method works. There a few different ways.
you need to pick the worker who doesn't know the differences.
Switch the tag with same brands
Get an item with the number code( shows up on repecit as numbers only)
If your scanning at selfcheck out . 80% of store will deactivated barcode/rift stickers. The gun is not enough to work.
Rfids inside packaging are deactivated at the register by a combination of pulsating lights & frequencies. When you scan the item it sends a kill switch to the rfid. People buy stuff with rfids in them all the time and donât know the difference. Itâs called source tagging. Source tagging is the process of putting rfids inside the packaging but this is done by the manufacturer and not the store. Commonly source tagged items are things like: Razors, batteries, cold sore cream, kiss lashes & nails etc. If you were sticker switching but were still able to scan the barcode on the product it should work but obviously use this info with extreme caution until youâre 100% sure it will work. Rfids are also supposed to be placed within 3 in I believe of the barcode to be deactivated. Keep in mind other helpful tips like Yoshi mentioned. Try to stick to a similar product, brand, color, size etc of the item your trying to get. Hope that info helps.
