*feel free to add on!!! (Remember these will almost always be at least somewhat opinionated answers)
Q: Should I conceal on floor or in a fitting room?
A: Fitting Room ALWAYS unless there are none or for certain stores that make this an exception (EXAMPLE: if they count all your clothes before AND after you are in the room and take all of your items either to put away or to put at the register after leaving)
Q: Ulta or Sephora for high end makeup?
A: Ulta ALWAYSSSS!!!! They have a no chase policy and are NOT allowed to accuse you of shoplifting unless they actually SEE you conceal the item AND leave the store with it. Cameras almost never monitored. Sephora for palettes since Ulta started that bullshit fancy tag thing. But be EXTREMELY careful, not for beginners. (Beginners you can find untagged palettes at Ulta. Smaller ones, sale ones, and usually Tarte or brands less famous for their eyeshadow are not tagged.) Sephora monitors their cameras, has LP, and can chase. Will prosecute. MAJOR TIP: they stay open about 10-15 minutes after closing time if there are still customers. You can go I at 6:50 and if they close at 7 you can usually shop until around 7:10 unnoticed. Use this, security should be clocked out a while ago and everyone is too busy closing up to really give a shit UNLESS they find you suspicious so don’t be suspicious and be FAST!! But Ulta. As much as possible. Only including other tips because some brands are only sold at one store and those stupid tags etc.
Q: Easiest stores to do this at in your opinion?
A: (NOT doing these in any sort of ranking okay??? Just a list!!) Ulta, Staples, Pacsun, PINK, Victoria’s Secret, Forever 21(better always and in other stores if you can get in an open room while the attendant is distracted or gone!), TJMaxx, Famous Footwear, Albertsons, Spencer’s, Wal-Mart, Adidas Outlet(be careful- tags have RFIDs! Remove or rip tags. If ripped, hide somewhere like a pocket or shoebox for something you don’t want), Starbucks or Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (referring to products on the shelf/snacks on shelves), McDonald’s & Taco Bell (referring to using a card that gets declined after trying to buy like one cheap thing and they will 9/10 just give it to you because it has to be thrown away anyways.. especially ice cream or soda), Wendy’s, Hollister (I used to work there so DM me your Hollister bullshit lmao basically no chase policy, must see you conceal, and still can’t accuse you of being a thief), Brandy Melville, Urban Outfitters (ONLY if you own a magnet ok??? Otherwise sunglasses and tights for u), American Apparel (be careful rags have RFIDs in them!) FEEL FREE TO ADD ON!
4.) Conceal in shopping bag, purse, or on person?
