The weights are double sided taped to the wheels. You pry/scrape them off. A screw driver works really well, but scratches the wheel. A plastic scraper made for wheel weights sucks to use, but generally doesn't scratch the wheels. There's no magic way to get them off the wheel.

I would say small surface scratches are acceptable, but it’s clear whoever worked on this particular wheel was an idiot. You’d think after the first
carve mark they would let up...
And I hate to ask [to OP], but did you check your other wheels?
Also, places that still use scrapers and screw drivers to remove these adhesive wheel weights are probably not very good shops. They make tools specifically for application and removal of adhesive wheel weights (e.g.
