Every time I leave Wal-Mart I set off the alarm again. This generally gets me more attention as the sweet little old people (aka the people greeters) stop me and search my buggy/receipt trying to figure out what set the alarm off. They don't find anything because whatever it was that set the alarm off was in my purse when I entered the store. I hadn't ever tried to figure out what it was because I am always in a hurry to get OUT of the craziness that is shopping at Wal-Mart and get home. And the embarrassing stares from strangers thinking "Glad it's her and not me".
Today I went into three different stores and set off the alarm each time I entered/exited the store. I've asked what they think it may be and most people suggest it is my phone or my keys, though neither of these made much sense to me since everyone has keys and a phone and the alarms don't go off when they enter the store.
My last stop today was Office Max for some ink for my printer (Wal-Mart was out or doesn't carry it, I'm not sure which) and the nice cashier offered to swipe my purse over her sensor to see if we could figure out what it was. Nothing happened. I took out my wallet and she swiped it and it beeped. Now I know.
It deactivated the sensor in the wallet (that I bought in New York in May 2007) and I left the store without setting off the sensor. Hopefully it is deactivated for good.
Mystery Solved.
