hey fellow canadian! what do you know about security in popular canadian chains (ardene, aritzia, garage)
Heyy! I was thinking of making a masterlist of what I know about different stores, but I'm too lazy so I'll just answer this for now ;D
Aritzïà: never l!fted from there, although I remember reading somewhere that they have magnet detectors so b very careful
Ardènés: again, never lïfted from there, although I'm pretty sure they don't tag much and tbh seems pretty easy
Gàrâge: they tag fucking everything. Even scrunchies and underwear. If you own a hook/magnet though, I'm sure u could get away with taking stuff in the dressing room. They count on the way in, but on the way out no one rly cares
Hûdśons Báy: only like 70% of their clothes have hard tags. CHECK TAGS FOR RFIDS especially brand name things. Don't try anything around the makeup/perfume area. It varies by store I'm sure, but usually there's no one monitoring fitting rooms. You can just walk in and take an empty one and do yo stuff in there.
Làsenža: nothing is tagged. Fun times, right? But employees are pretty attentive so be careful. If you load up a bag with underwear and stuff, they won't let u take it in the dressing room, and say ur only allowed 6 items at a time. BUT, if you just have a couple bras and look innocent, they won't bother counting. It depends.
Là vie èn rosè: my store has 0 cameras, but take that with a grain of salt becos it varies with location. Underwear and bathing suits are untagged, but bras and pajamas are tagged. I can't say much about fitting rooms because I normally just conceal on floor lol
Shöppers Drûg Màrt: they put sticky silver beep beep tags on some makeup. They are real and will set off alarms, so double check stuff for that. Cameras are usually sparse, and since the shelves are tall there's hella blind spots. If the employees seem chill and aren't staring daggers at u then they won't bother u.
Those are all the Canadian stores I can think of off the top of my head?? I hope this helped in some way lol. Imma also leave a link to an ultimate masterlist of stores and their security
