went to the mall with a friend + some of the benefits of working at a secondhand store!!! mweheheheheheheh
ive been really enjoying the t0uchland hand sanitizer, it smells so good and i use it way more often than id ever use any other kind!!! wayyyy too expensive though. im super glad i get to use it without having to pay!!! overall im just very very happy with all the stuff i got. i dont regret grabbing a single thing lol and all of it is stuff i will actually wear and use. SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THE BOOK, TOO!!! AHHHH
it was really risky, though, we got hella sussed out at suh4uh, i was so scared.... my friend got a lot more stuff than me, though. lotsss of store attendants stopping and asking if we were finding everything okay. im glad we left when we did ahhhh
i think ill steer clear of that mall for a while or go in a disguise next time idkidk
and the jewelry!!! more about it in the tags
mall total $250.58, jewelry total unknown but likely pretty high!!!
PLEASE READ THIS POST IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME COMING ACROSS IT!
PLEASE check out dr@gônfrû¡t.a¡ , i saw a sticker at a mall in the town over from mine and says they use this, clients including AM3R1C@N 3AGL3, LULU, C@N@DI@N T|R3, AND MORE. Al LP technology is ALREADY HERE in YOUR TOWN.
it says it can predict behavior before you even do anything, and the nature of it means it automatically becomes smarter the longer it runs. this CAN and WILL be your downfall - you need to make sure your sleight of hand is perfect, your area, your posture, your expression, your movement, EVERYTHING.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
check YOUR local stores for any signs of Al being implemented; all i saw was a very obvious sticker on the window by the door advertising dr@g0nfrû¡†. YMMV.
re-assess your lifting habits - now more than ever, it is dangerous and feasible to get caught even with great technique. you don't need to lift out of necessity... but please be aware of your habits. are you doing this to self soothe? to avoid an emotion? this can become a real addiction, and you deserve forms of self care that don't threaten yourself. it can feel like fun and games, but this really is serious.
re-assess yourself - i hate to say it, but we know Al will have bias, and this affects some of us more than others, including POC and the disabled. if you are autistic or otherwise neurodivergent especially, your gait, posture and general movement could potentially flag the Al to watch you more. (anyone else remember the post about how LP watch for elbows on the shopping cart...?)
harm reduction - zero judgement if you continue, either for fun or for necessity; my heart seriously bleeds for those of you that rely on this to live. but you need to brush up on skills, REMEMBER YOUR RIGHTS, and try to not take things you know you don't need.
alternatives - obviously 🧬 is unaffected and it's business as usual, consider swapping methods either partially or entirely. for perishables, there's no harm in seeing if your local food pantry can take extra people (is it only near me where you have to sign up for it...!?)
i love each and every one of you and if companies weren't so fucking evil this would be a cool technology... but god we all know how shit the economy is. to tally a total and it's so much higher than it should be. many of us only have a taste of a form of proxy financial freedom though this and that can be invigorating, but if it's overconsumption, it isn't sustainable. i know that was a bunch of buzzwords back to back but it's true
companies also advertise fisheye cameras as "no blind spots" cameras but that's a lie — you can literally create a blind spot by turning your back to them. ad speak ≠ truth. AI companies WANT to sell shit to stores for a $$$$ price tag !! They are going to market the shit out of their products by telling them it's groundbreaking!!!
how bad AI works. 6 fingers? ChatGPT telling you whatever?
what does this track? they give examples of "bending" before a shelf (to conceal), turning your back to the camera, circling a display. non-lyfŧing shoppers do these things all the time. none of this is illegal
they claim they do not have many false alarms, but if it flags "leaving without paying after lengthy browsing" and "placing items in bags" how could it not? again, shoppers do these things all the time. they don't find the thing they're looking for, they put their phone in their bag/pockets, check if they have their wallet... it says it's taught on real shoplifting incidents, so i guess very obvious behavior on-camera (think goofy shoplifting PSA)? so concealing should look as smooth as possible (but you should be doing this anyway! and never on camera)
what it does do: send video clips of your behavior to on-floor staff so that they can review you right then&there, and also the person-detection system allows them to esp. follow YOU from different cameras around the store. this is actually the big thing here imo
in my country an AI tagging me as "suspicious" will not be grounds for anything except getting staff/LP to clock and follow me. And this is basically how you should be operating anyway, that someone is watching you at all times and you need to be as stealthy as possible. so know your rights and know the law
my fav method of getting to know what a stores cs is like, is looking up peoples experiences on reddįt. its reassuring & baffling how many orders get lost, how terrible & careless these companies are, and how lotsss of items are damaged!! its so common, a few of us wont hurt or make that much of a difference
whenever you feel anxious about a store you want to 🧬/peb/dmg, look up "___ never recieved/defective/missing items rėddit" and pay attention to the dates
but obviously that doesnt mean you can go crazy, stay careful & patient
Two points to protect yo ass and increase your chance of a refund when you are unsure if 🧬 etc. is likely to be successful with a Sh0p1fy based store:
The "Auto-Void" Loophole: By March 2026, many Shopify boutiques integrated "Agentic AI" (bots that can issue refunds without human approval).
The Exploit: Using a specific trigger phrase (e.g., "The package arrived with the seal broken and the safety manual missing") or claims a "Safety/Health Risk," the AI is often hard-coded to refund instantly to avoid a liability lawsuit.
A sign you're better off avoiding one:
Check the footer or checkout small print for specific 2026 fraud-shield apps. If they see these, they skip the store:
Blox / Chargeback Blacklist: This app shares a "Community Blocklist." If a user is flagged for fraud at one boutique, they are automatically blocked from thousands of others.
Signifyd / NoFraud: These provide a "Financial Guarantee" to the seller. If the app flags an order as high-risk, the seller cannot ship it without losing their insurance.
Disputifier / Chargeflow: These apps use 2026 AI to automatically fight chargebacks with carrier-level evidence.
Neither of these things can guarantee a positive or negative outcome, but they are definitely srong factors to consider.
as a l1fter dni if you take from anyone other than big corporations
bc wdym you stole something from a small business struggling to stay afloat. wdym you took your friend's lipstick that they worked overtime to afford. wtf is wrong with you
lifting should only be against capitalism not just people in general. dont be a jerk theres zero excuse to be taking from small businesses and/or your friends/family
(disclaimer: this is roleplay and you shouldnt steal regardless)
Hey y'all! The other day I went through ŁP reddit for about 4 hours. What I took back from it is a compilation on things I thought could be helpful to our community. These screenshots discuss tactics and strategies they use. One thing I can say is be SOOOO fucking careful guys. They know SO much. A lot of them are very good at their jobs. One slip up could mean getting caught. Use these to sharpen your skills. :)
after being gone from the community so long, most of my previous favs are gone. but i see so many newbies and tbh its cute, like yall have so much to learn :’)
anyway, im seriously lacking in lifting posts on my dash soooo
