I bought a dress from a mainstream shop. The item didn’t have a tag on nor a price tag, so the cashier had to manually enter the price. When I left the store the alarm didn’t set off but a machine that the security guy was holding started beeping. He approached me, showed me a tablet that had the item I bought on and asked me if I have a receipt for it , which I did, but I had to walk in and out the store again until the machine stopped beeping.
How does this alarm system work?

There’s often a little strip or other device (the ones at my store are a little chunk of plastic with thin sheets of metal inside) on special items that, when they go past the sensors, cause it to beep (as someone who works at an auto parts store, they’re on our headlight bulbs most often, don’t try anything funny with ’em)
when I scan an item, I have to put it over another scanner which basically deactivates the strip or device. I’ve forgotten to do it many times and have had to tell customers to not worry about it and that my dumb butt forgot to deactivate the security device.
