idk if this could be helpful as someone who has ocd  i know that it is anything but logical haha but i used to work at a store with these and after working there for a while my honest reaction whenever it went off was either “damn i must have missed a sensor” or if it wasn’t my customer “ugh who forgot to take a sensor off” pretty much never “someone is trying to steal something” i really think of them as checks to make sure you don’t leave with an ink tag that will ruin your stuff or something rather than anti-theft devices because most people who steal are aware of them and will find a way to get the sensors off before they leave the store  hope this helps you even a little
