Removing security top off wine bottle

[friendofdorothy]

No I didn't rob it.

How can I get the damn thing off?

Finally plucked up courage to spend Xmas M&S voucher on some nice wine. Had to use a self service till and wait a while for a member of staff to notice - need staff member to approve sale of alcohol. Alarms sounded as we left but guard waived us through saying don't worry it's ok. Only noticed security top thing on the bottle when home. Now can't find the receipt. FFS.

go back and if they're arsy with you point out there'll be cctv of all this if they want to take staff off the floor for ages instead of simply removing the bloody thing for you

 

[cupid_stunt]

Is it one like this?

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

A sword

I got a tag off of a vodka bottle with my electric tenon saw one new years eve many years ago. If you have an electric tenon saw then I advise this.

 

[friendofdorothy]

That looks a lot more exciting than using a plastic knife. But rather wasteful of good fizz.

 

[friendofdorothy]

Strangely enough I have neither a tenon saw or sabre handy

Thankyou!

I got the leg off a dissident with one of those once, when I was interning at the Saudi Consulate

And there's plenty of videos of twats trying to use a sword and ending up with a broken bottle and a floor full of fizz.



And now watch the clever man showing the stupid woman how it's done:

Have you got the receipt? Go back and ask them.

Took me 7 months to get around to going there in the first place. Didn't like the crowds at check out or self service so I won't be rushing back.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Thankyou!

Is that the one?

So, just a plastic knife, or something similar.

you have to wonder how much wine has been wasted as people who can do this trick learned it

 

[friendofdorothy]

Ok crisis averted. I found there was a tiny bit of wiggle room with it and with some effort managed a little bit at a time to push it off. Now have sore thumbs.

 

[friendofdorothy]

Thanks everybody

 

[moose]

You know a good cure for sore thumbs?

Bit late to this but I had a delivery with the security tops still on. I made a cack-handed attempt to get one off and half destroyed it without actually succeeding. I contacted the deliverer and they gave me a refund and the bloke delivering next time removed the caps for me and gave me the bottles back

But that's not a lot of use to you now

 

[FridgeMagnet]

I checked this out after doing similar and apparently the best way is to use an electric drill through the hinge joint. (I did not have an electric drill so I took it back to the shop.)

 

[blairsh]

Now you've got it off you should be able to re-use it, right? Now you can save it for a party when someone you don't like turns up and clamp their bottle

Don't worry - they'll have deleted the CCTV by now so the staff won't know you nicked it.

You could just drill a hole in the lid and stick a straw in the bottle.

Actually you could drill one large hole and a little one, pour it out of the large one and the little one will let air in, stopping that annoying partial vacuum thang.

But to be honest, we could all do with stronger thumbs

Anyone know how to get a security tag off a pyjamas?
I was given one for Christmas

 

[Orang Utan]

the amount of times i’ve set off the alarm and just been waved through, i could easily have stolen loads of booze and cheese, if i was a criminal. which i’m not. obv. tbh.

You need to steal one of those magnets they use in the shops. They're generally not tagged so it should be easy
