I agree it was likely an employe making stuff up. Good job on you for not pushing.
The little stickers have a barcode. They're basically backups in case the main one gets torn off or damaged.
Random tags don't scan and register in a system, which makes the agents point irrelevant and incorrect.
On a side note, I have noticed more agents who don't know how to put bag tags on properly. Either the extra sticker isn't applied or the priority tag is placed at the end, resulting in a big loop (vs the tag having some sticky side on either end and minimizing the ability to get caught and removed), it's been interesting.
