Hi I would like to know if anyone buys alot of baby clothes from woolworths?

Well I bought this 2 piece baby out but was abit upset and had to take it back. The reason was that you know the pins that the security tags had left quite a big hole. The hat you could see the hole and when I told the cashier at the till she told me rub you finger nail over it and you can't notice it. Which maybe true but the hat looked bad and as I told her it was not for my lo its for someone who has just had a baby. I did come to the conclusion that its going to be like that everywhere. I think that woolworths put the pins in a certain part of the clothing that people will notice it. I just exchanged it for socks and bibs but was very disappointed.

In the end I got something in another shop and like woolworths they tag left a hole but it was way down the t-shirt. I did rub my finger on it and you couldn't notice the hole.

Was just wondering if anyone had this problem with tags on clothes in woolworths?

Hi Mummy01

I cant say i've noticed but i have with other baby shops.Theres tags on the clothes why not put them on there.
I had the same problem for myself the other day in dorothy perkins.I got the realy nice gold and cream dress top,i'd tryed it on, on previous days but hubby came with me and got it.When i got it home and tryed it on there was a big hole in the middle where te security tag had been.I took it back and the cashier said she could take moer money off it if i could sew it up.How bloody cheeky.Anyway they didnt have another in the sz i wanted(16)but had a 14.I am a 14 but thought as its a september wedding i get a bigger size to be comfy.
It is naughty what they do,and just what they get away with.

hi there
This is going to sound realy SAD but i used to work in a shop and the reason they put tags where they do is so the shoplifters can remove to tags by hand without damaging the clothing if the tag is put on a seam the shoplifter can unpick the seam remove the tag then sell it on.
I agree that it is a bad idea as the tags damage the item for people who are buying them.
