okay i thought i got off lucky but it turns out that no matter what you do a shoplifting charge stays on your record forever. i just turned 18. i just ruined my whole life. im never going to get a job because of this and i can't stop crying bc i can't believe i did this to myself

i am very lucky and this day has really put things into perspective for me

so there's a reason why the department store doesn't have beepers.... they have amazing security. guess who cried their ass off for two hours and got a citation for $600!!!!!!!!

Please ignore my boyfriend’s Hot Wheels~~~

OMG I ACTUALLY GOT SHOES. SHOES. Thank you to the random person who reblogged the post about DSW! I had no idea I could be getting shoes of this quality for free.

I saw so many shoes, guys, that I was LITERALLY going to purchase a few months ago. And I was going to buy knockoffs from AliExpress of both the black crystal heels and the CL gold heels. I’m so fucking glad I didn’t.

My boyfriend says I have to say he helped. He blocked. What I did was drape my scarf over my bag, and while he blocked the camera, I took one shoe and passed it under my scarf into my bag. Then same with the next.

Also, I took out a bunch of shoe boxes for the ones I NEEDED in the sales section. And guess what? Put them back in the wrong places, switched them around, to put the ones I wanted in a better spot for my boyfriend to block and me to swipe out of sight.

A+ experience. I’ll be going to another warehouse beside soon. That one had no cameras and I’m excited to try it.

Dune London “Belles” - $65.98 Caparros “Kate” - $62.98 Chinese Laundry gold heel - $42.98 Black flat - ?? Not even sure what the total is, who cares! Finding the shoes you were too strapped on cash to buy MONTHS ago and getting them later for free is priceless. I’m so happy.

(P.S. These are not for any fancy occasion. I’m going to wear these to a fucking grocery store or McDonald’s.)

Ooh!!!

roselift

$400 :)

lifting forces me to get creative because I had to explain to my parents my I got home two hours after my doctors appointment ended. they totally bought it though lol. also I only got two things at Sephora because I spent a grand total of 15 minutes talking to various employees.

not pictured: hanger I stole from Levi’s. I always take hangars with me but typically I throw them out, this one was super high quality though, 10/10 you guys should check that out.

Sorry I’ve lifted a lot of boring old groceries lately. But I saw this purse today and grabbed it. Saved $64.

this is an incredibly beautiful and aesthetic haul and I am in love 💖

roselift

bits of my haul from last weekend | $605

this is only ¾ the stuff bc the other things didn’t fit the aesthetic I have going on here. I went to urban/ulta/xpress but the stuff here is mostly just urban. I can’t believe I didn’t take any vinyl but tbh my bag was crushing me at that point.

loving the look of this

How to Make a Living by Returning Expensive Shit

Everyone read this article!!! Written by someone who is very clever, who gets away with $40 foundations & and $50 moisturizers by abusing return policies LOL. I will definitely be trying this in the future.

stealy-chan

Lol this is what I do :) Always use cash because they keep records and using a payment card will leave a trail behind.

two-for-none

you can do this with appliances too, if you’ve already lifted / bought one in the past.

i.e. if you bought a blender from walmart 2 years ago and it stops working - if they still sell the same blender (or even one that looks really, really similar), buy it again, return the broken one. :) wow, who knew it came with a lifetime warranty?

Great tip from @two-for-none!

Urban method ?!

tips from a former dsw employee

• you gotta be chill. if the sa swings by (which is required of them, chat up everyone in the section) speak with them briefly, even just the niceties. ignoring them tips off.

• unless it’s peak days (fri - sun) there’s generally only one person per section, except for clearance they usually have 2. men’s shoes&athletics are usually one section. then whatever’s the seasonal shoe (boots, sandals, etc). then regular stock (keds, sketchers, vans, comfy stuff) and women’s dress shoes. accessories generally are manned by anyone who happens to see someone in the section

• there’s generally an MOD and then another one of the managers will be floating around too.

• we definitely use those walkies to talk about suspicious characters.

•there aren’t many cameras, but they are there. cash wrap, hall to the bathroom, and one of the clearance corners are the ones i can remember rn from my store.

• i’ve seen a lot of people say to go to the clearance section to lift - i don’t recommend it. we’re trained to service the crap out of people back there because WE KNOW that’s where ya go!

• most athletic shoes are tagged, as well as our high end heels and “prom” shoes

• best way to lift, be the great customer. try on 4 or 5 pairs of shoes. pull the paper out try them on completely. have the boxes spread around you. when there are no other customers in the aisle & no sa’s, slip the pair you want into your bag. then clean everything up and put the boxes back approximately where they should be. if everything is left out, we’re gonna remember that bitch who made a massive mess.

• pro tip: put one of the smokescreen pairs on hold under a fake name. then you look way less suspicious.

• more often than not, if a column of boxes looks tidy, we don’t mess with it. closing is on a tight schedule and the stores are BIG.

• the sa’s aren’t allowed to confront you or accuse you. all we can do is call the police/mall security and try and keep you in the store.

•will add more to this as i’m remembering it

ahhhh finally dsw tips. thank you 😘

cherrylifter

are their any managers that stay in the back to watch the cameras actively? or do they just record?

beaniebooster-deactivated201708

I think I’m going to go get shoes today. I desperately need some. And I had no idea this store existed in Canada too. I need to check this out. Shoes are my favourite item of all but seem impossible for me to steal.

there's a new, super high-class department store that just opened in my town and there are not towers, no rfids, no tags, and barely any cameras...... im about to fuck them up

when the SAs are too busy talking about shoplifters to notice that you're shoplifting
