I bought this container at Walmart and found this tag looked it up and it says it tracks the item…weird…. What are your thoughts?

lots of things have RFID tags, check costing for the tag, robably quite cheap, so it’s not that surprising to have an RFID tag in it, assuming the product is a little more expensive, like >$10
I’m not 100% sure but I’d wager they scan those tags as the shipment makes stops in transit to the destination. Example: shipping in bulk from Florida to Texas and the shipment stops in LA to move trucks… they scan that tag so the shipper and recipient know the location of the merchandise.
I think it’s what makes the scanners at department store go *beep beep* when someone steals. That, or it’s used for automated self checkouts like they have in Japan (just pile your stuff near the terminal and it’ll scan everything at once).
Sticky tracking device.
As a Walmart employee it’s for inventory. We have those on tires and you just take the scanner and wave it around it picks up the rfid and tell the computer yup we have this
