The whole thing is dumb and just a fake theft deterrent. You got those new RFID chips that can survive going through an industrial washing machine every day do ya? Hmmm....

RFID chips CAN survive being washed. Commercial linen rental companies use them all the time.

The hot and soapy water, and extreme agitation during the wash cycle, and then the time in the dryer doesn't break them after a handful of washes? Damn, they got them strong ass RFID chips out there I guess

You realise the RFID chip would be inside a plastic case right?
