hi !! im not a proffesional but im kinda exprienced and i see so many mistakes/caught stories these days so i just wanted to make a thread! also sorry for my english, its not my national language. if i have any mistakes just correct me <3
what should i wear? is it that important?
i think you all know the ‘teenaged shoplifter’ look right? dark clothing, a beanie, chains, and a skateboard, probably with their friends and has shifty eyes. if u dress like this the SA wİLL know what u are up to.
and then theres an another look, the ‘unexprienced newbie’ look. the baggy sweatshirt(i dont mean the expensive ones you know what i mean) nerveous, sweaty and SHİFTY eyes. avoids SA and touches their sweatshirt all the time. they will know you hide something in that sweatshirt.
so what should you wear? you can still wear dark clothing but in a chic way. you can still wear baggy outfits but you have to look confident. theres no best outfit for lifting, just wear neutral colors, a normal makeup and some jewelery. wear something that they wont even care about. that doesnt pops in the crowd. not be you, be every basic shopper girl that lives in your city.
btw if u are not a newbie you can just go with a jogger and a t-shirt. you can still be invisible if you know how to.
when you first head in the store, dont check for the damn cameras, look at the staff and kindly smile or just dont do anything. dont look nerveous, sweaty. dont act like youre high, be normal. youre just a shopper who is looking for the x product?
youre in the store, congrats!! theres options that might happen to you.
1) you might get an SA on your ass asking you what are you looking for. you can tell them ‘youre just browsing’ but thats a common lie so they’re bored of it. be creative, say something like ‘my friend and i’ll meet here, while waiting i’ll just hang here’ ‘we’re playing hide and seek can i stay here for like 10 mins?’ (yeah this is so childish they will leave your ass in like 00.01 mins) ‘do you have the x product? (something you know they dont have in stock or dont sell at all) etc.
2) the second option is ‘hi would you like to take a basket?’ you can answer this with, ‘nah, thanks. when i carry a basket i feel like i need to buy more. its not good for my wallet you know.’ ‘would you like to try this product which is similar to the product youre looking at?’ ‘oh sorry we dont have that product but here is a similar one!’ ok bROO FUCK OFF, these just make me so uncomfartable. you can answer these two with this ‘i have social anxiety so its so hard to talk to strangers, is it okay if we just dont talk?’ or just say ‘thanks, not needed.’
the third and last option is ‘theres no one on my ass but i think someone is watching me’ just get out of their zone and if you have a bad feeling, LEAVE THE FUCK OUT.
im in the store, i chose what do i want to lift, what do i do now?
theres soooo many concealing methods. you can find them on liftblr if u scroll a bit.
i usually conceal in my bag in a BLİNDSPOT. never ever conceal in front of camera, other customers!! and officialy the staff. when im lifting grocery i put my reusable bag at the basket and get what i want x2 in the basket and get one of them in my bag, leave one at the basket in a blindspot.
for lifting clothes you usually need a magnet or hook. the aliminium bags only work for the RFİD tags. you can also cut a hole in the clothing to get rid of the tag. be quiet in the changing room and DO NOT LEAVE THE FUCKİNG RFİD/TAG AT THE CHANGİNG ROOM İTS HOW DO PEOPLE GET CAUGHT.
i just went to lifting with my little brother, he sat on the stroller while i was using the stroller as a bag and a concealer.
dont wear sunglasses in the store. if they cant see your eyes they wont trust you.
know your times!!! this is very very important. i usually go to the stores in the morning (11-12 am) and when its not crowded. in the morning the SA work with the new packages that have just came or clean the mess from the last day or just be sleepy and dont give fuck about you.
if you beep just walk calmly. if they call you to come back say its your pacemaker or your wallet.
thats it from me babies, be safe <3
also i need advice on how to not to get caught to my MOM? she knows i’ve lifted once and now she looks at everything i bring home and asks where did i found the money for these?
