I’d like to mention my thoughts and experiences with the stores on this list I have lifted from.
I have good luck with Hot Topic - at first I thought one of mine had no cameras - but actually both have no cameras. One has towers, one doesn’t. Mine are very, very easy. I don’t know about yours. There are very few, 4 at most attendants in the larger store, and at most 2 in the smaller one. Mine’s not tagged, so I told my partner to use the method of double-hanging to lift the crop top she really wanted. They did count, since they have to unlock the doors, but they did not noticed the double hung shirt. She put it on underneath her sweater and we left.
Bath and Body Works has very few blind spots, but it’s still very easy as the attendants themselves are easy to avoid while you find one. I’d suggest using a partner as your blindspot while you pretend to look at things. Stores with the large open doorways that go from wall to wall don’t even need concealing - you can just walk the fuck out.
Pink is easier than VS in my experience. There was a good blindspot by the doorway connecting the two stores together. That doorway also led into VS’s perfume and makeup section, so I walked out of VS with a Love Spell perfume to conceal it in Pink.
My Wal-Mart personally has little to no cameras in the Sporting Goods and Auto section. It was a long walk from Cosmetics, though, so I had to slip things up my sleeve and walk there to conceal properly. There was also a blind spot in the women’s clothing section - near the bras, panties, scarves, wallets, backpacks, and jewelry. It was near the dressing room, but still concealed.
Forever 21 had tags on all the clothes and almost all of the shoes - I however managed to find a pair of shoes without tags AND in my size, but I got lucky. It was one of two pairs. I also was able to find untagged panties AND bras in one of them. It’s a good place to lift cute hair bands/accessories and lip gloss.
My Barnes & Noble has two levels. The downstairs has lots of cameras and most of the electronics and such that they sell. Upstairs, however, they have all of the novels, like Paper Towns, Maze Runner, Harry Potter, etc. books. And that floor also has the children’s books and stuff. This entire floor. THE ENTIRE THING - had 0 cameras. I concealed in the side room with the novel shelves. I managed to get out with three books.
My Claire’s/Icing was pretty easy. Icing had a huge column in one corner, which was an unfortunately large blindspot in the bridal section. I used it to conceal a fair few items. Their only camera was in the center over the register. I go to two different Claire’s. One has cameras everywhere and several mirrors, and the other falls into the same category as Icing - one over the register, and had two mirrors on the center sides. I got out with a huge flower crown, a phone case, and a few more things. Therefore, mine is considerably easy.
My Lush is INCREDIBLY small. A 8x14 room at the absolute most, with several tables and the counter taking up 50% of the space, it was damn near impossible to hide and conceal. Especially with the fact they had like 8 attendants and 10 customers, excluding my partner and I. Sure, we could’ve grabbed something and just walked out, but we ran the risk of being seen by several people. 2/4 of the walls were windows, as it was on a corner in the mall. There were no cameras.
Both of my Sephoras are damn near impossible. One has cameras everywhere, and the other we got customer serviced to death even though we concealed where no one could see us. We had had an eyeliner, a Naked basics, and a Too Faced blush, but we decided to leave with nothing.
I haven’t hit Michael’s yet, but I’m going to soon - maybe even tonight. They have SEVERAL things I’m looking for, so I’m gonna see what I can get my hands on. I’m specifically hitting it for Copic markers - I’ll come back bearing news.
ALSO: For all the mall stores (Claire’s, Icing, Forever 21, Barnes & Noble, Pink, VS, Bath & Body Works) I used a medium sized Hot Topic bag (because they’re black) Obviously not a very good idea to use that method IN Hot Topic. In Hot Topic, I used my purse - but I really only got small stuff there, like a bottle of Manic Panic, a bracelet, and whatnot.
