I don't pay for shit.

i don't usually total hauls. ask me things.

[ukniftylifter]

Why do people keep trying to justify lifting? What we’re doing is wrong and illegal and just because it’s fun doesn’t mean it’s okay. I feel like we should all remember this to remain humble and not get too greedy

Seeing lifters posting that they lifted 60 lipsticks from one store instead of going to multiple stores and fucking it up for the rest of us

The “ Had to get shit for my vanity and some other random shit because why not” Haul. Ft. Pullover for my SO as a gift AND Mt.dew!

🌸 Total $587 🌸

Tomorrow is November 1st.

Tomorrow is, according to retail, the first day of Christmas. Tomorrow begins the highlighted “If you feel off, youre off, dont go.” season. Extra Security is hired. LP is just as disguised as we are. Tomorrow begins the holiday shopping rush. Which is actually a pretty good time because most SA are gone off dealing with cranky children and bitter mothers upset over hatchimals. But for some stores, tomorrow begins the era to crack down on us. Tomorrow is not the time for feeling off.

Stay safe. Don’t get caught. Get what you want and OWN it✨

ALSO someone left another fucking empty box at another one of my sephoras.  gurl come on.  TAKE THE DAMN BOX 

i feel like we gotta make it common knowledge that barcodes/boxes don’t set off the alarms, like everyone should know this 

[definitelyillegal-blog]

ya girl has been on a looooooong hiatus but i am back with a fresh $662 sephora haul and several months’ worth of stuff to boost 

[languidlylifting-blog]

So I got a job at Lush

Everything people have said before is true

No cameras anywhere, they’re literally against company policy. People steal shit all the time, but we’re always doing things so we never notice. And even if we do, we’re not allowed to confront you because the company doesn’t want a lawsuit.

Let me know if you want more tips or product recs! <3

[definitelyillegal-blog]

nice! gorgeous is my favorite night moisturizer so that’s good to hear lol 

i’m interested as to why they always have so few tubs of gorgeous out, i’m assuming that’s intentional so they’re easier to keep an eye on? also, is there any way i could lift one of those face masks in the fridge? i’m pretty sure you have to ask someone to get those for you :/

[little-blue-lifter]

tips for sephora? I find it hard to remove tags inside the store and how do I prevent myself from beeping if I do miss it

I don’t have a Sephora, and ice only been to one like twice in my life, so I don’t really have any tips for them. What I do know is that if you miss a tag, you’re gonna beep. So definitely be thorough.

Anyone have any tips for detagging in Sephora?

[definitelyillegal-blog]

most of my stores only use the flat (not puffy) rfid tags on the outsides, and only on full-size fragrances/electronics.  obviously check for inside tags since stores vary, etc.  

you can try to peel it off in a blind spot. do it without looking. do it while walking if possible.  if you’re detagging something big/hard to gracefully handle, try putting it in a tote and “rummaging” through the items in your tote as cover for detagging.  

then, palm the tag and fake blowing your nose/wiping swatches off your hand with a tissue.  conceal the tag in the tissue and toss it in the trash.  DO NOT LEAVE THE TAG ON THE FLOOR/IN THE SHELVES.  you don’t want to risk an employee swooping by to tidy the place you JUST DUMPED A TAG.  

after, of course, conceal the item as you usually do.  

[lipsmackinlifter]

that lifter feel when

you’re tryna post a haul but you need to search up the prices of the items bc you didn’t need to look in the store 

[liftleggies-deactivated20170306]

Research tip!!

Go search ‘shoplift’ or ‘shoplifter’ on the r/TalesFromRetail sub. There are TONS of threads and most of them are pretty detailed on what tipped the SA off, what the shoplifter did wrong, what they did, etc so you can learn from others’ mistakes! 

Stay safe out there, angels 

[stealy-chan]

Also! There is a r/lossprevention sub that has helped me a lot as well 😋

my forever 21 recently just moved to a smaller store since their original one is being renovated and I went to scout it out the other day and THERE ARE NO CAMS ON THE FLOOR except by the register. I'm about to have a buffet :)

i am LATE to respond to this babe i’m so sorry 

but DAMN! that sounds amazing!! i hope u rob em blind and get everything you want :) Just make sure u look for tags on jewelry and stuff! usually they’re obvious pencil/loop tags (i’ve never in my life heard of f21 using RFIDs) but they can sneak by sometimes, you know?  especially if they’re buried in a fluffy scarf or something

i meaaaaan unless their temp store doesn’t have towers or tags.  in which case i hope you enjoy the buffet ;)

[definitelyillegal-blog]

mmmmmm i’m taking a break from lifting.  i’ll probably still lift food and stuff but no big hauls for a while.  i just have too much stuff lol 

[definitelyillegal-blog]

some asshole left an empty box at my sephora..... y’all, stop being so fucking stupid.  i’m not playing.  take the goddamn box.  you’re making it harder for all of us

if you think you’re being watched when you’re lifting, you’re being watched. drop the shit. concealment doesnt make you guilty. swallow your god damned pride

[niftyshiftylifty]

Concealment, in SOME jurisdictions, IS a crime, people. It’s also enough for LP to stop and search. (This is where knowing your local laws becomes important; would strongly recommend everyone suss this stuff out early in the game or even before you start lifting.) Drop the shit and GTFO. You can get those makeup brushes some other time. 

[lifting-lolly]

Can I justify eating Nutella if I lift it since I wouldn’t be contributing to the growth of the chocolate industry monetizing on child slavery or should I resist since I would still be reaping the benefits of the cruelty that thousands of farmers must endure every day under the thumb of the corrupt cocoa industry #lifterproblems 😰

[definitelyillegal-blog]

the struggle to be a conscientious consumer is real :/ 

really, tho, even if you don’t buy it (so you’re not actually contributing your own money to the company), you give it value by lifting it. not just in a vague philosophical way either.  like, if an item keeps disappearing off the shelf (whether it’s paid for or not), the vendor knows that product has value in the eyes of consumers and is in high-demand. so the vendor will acquire more of that product to sell, or at least have their insurance replace it, and then potentially keep it under tighter security. either way, the company that produces it is moving more product out to vendors & making more money.

so no, you wouldn’t directly be giving them your money, but you’d still indirectly be helping them.
