That way, all the screener has to do is just peel them off and stick 'em to the tag instead of peeling them off of the reel. It saves time and hassle, especially when during peak periods. I hear you can't do that with these new tags. Once you peel them off, you have to stick them or else you can't use them. Is that true?
Yes, Bart, that's true. We used to stick ours to the edges of the machines as well and you just can't do that with these. They're scored, so you have to pull them off the sheet in a certain direction or they tear and then you can't use them. Once you pull one off, you have to stick it on the bag tag and once it's stuck to something, that's it. They stick to your shoes, your fingers, your pants, you name it. I still haven't been able to master using them while wearing gloves; I tore more than I used, until I just gave up and removed my gloves when it's my turn to unload the machine.
