Masterlist of stores (WIP: Updated Sep. 2022)
Wáłmàrt - Has dedicated LP/AP. They are easy to spot however. Avoid electronics, women’s, baby care, makeup, perfume, clearance, and jewelry (if applicable). Best is kids toys, and grocery. Will chase, prosecute, and ban. Not supposed to call police for anything under $25 but I’ve had friends experience otherwise. Goes for all stores operating under Sám’s Club/Wáłmárt INC.
Mïçhàèł’s - Unfortunately some stores have LP/AP and are dedicated (like mine). Mostly are plainclothes walking around with earpieces and/or walkie talkies. Has alarm/censors. Avoid lïfting in fine arts. Toys, home decor, and notebooks/sketchbooks are a safer bet. Has sensors located around all doors and doors will lock if activated to avoid a theft occurring (some may some may not).
Płátö’ś Cłösèt - No LP. Tags almost everything. Easy beginner level store for who wants to use tools. Staff are younger to teenagers who could probably care less about merchandise. Few cameras, and mirrors. Just conceal between articles of clothing.
Bôôks à Mïllīon - Has cameras but not actively monitored. No known LP/AP. Best to conceal in children’s isles, religious readings, and clearance. Avoid records/vinyls. Only store manager has the power to call police/prosecute.
Bárńeś @ Nöbłe - Has cameras that aren’t actively monitored. Only store managers have authority to be AP/LP and call police. Won’t chase. But will try to get a photo of your license plate. Children’s sections are best to conceal in. Avoid records/vinyls and electronics.
Ułtá - Has cameras and are actively monitored. Most employees have AP/LP training as you are hardly ever shopping alone. They will follow you around the store. Will call police and some cases will chase. Best to conceal in isles closest to the doors if you want to make a fast escape.
Sèphörà - Mall stores are severely dangerous. You’re better off just going to ûłtá. *Avoid the ones that are connected to a JÇP*. Will chase, prosecute, ban, etc. Stand alone stores such as outdoor malls/shopping centers are your safest bet if you plan to make a fast escape.
Tárgèt - Similar to Walmart but zero blind spots as there are a lot of cameras and can rotate. Dedicated AP. Will chase, prosecute, ban, and case build. Better off to go to one location and never go back after a łift.
Sałłÿ’s - Very lax. No LP/AP as of to date. Avoid corners as there are cameras/mirrors. Only 1-3 employees in the store. Assume cameras are being watched. Better to conceal in the middle isles or the inner part of outer isles. Not known to chase, prosecute, or ban.
Höt Töpic/Böx Lûnch - They operate under the same parent company Sycamore Partners. Some stores my have cameras but are hard to see. Store managers will act as AP but will call district supervisors if a large theft as occurs. Be fast and use common sense. Cameras may be monitored and items are counted in fitting room. Safest bet is to lighting conceal. They all have door alarms and are triggered very easily.
Höbbÿ Löbbÿ - Most stores have LP. Cameras are most likely not monitored but just pretend they are. Be fast and cautious. Best to conceal in home decor and toys. Avoid fine arts and electronics.
Mïcháèl Körś/Káte Spàde/Cöáçh - Stores are small and has dedicated staff to act as LP. Merchandise is scarce and it’s easy to tell if something went missing. Will call police, prosecute, and ban. Hardest is Cöáçh. Avoid Boutiques. Safest bet is outlet locations as they are cheaper and slightly bigger than normal retail locations in bigger malls.
Aèröpośtale - (How are they still in business lmao) Cameras are monitored but only LP is store managers or PIC. Not known to prosecute will most likely ask for merchandise back. Conceal fast and leave. Avoid clearance sections as they are closest to checkout area. Some stores have door alarms I’ve seen some they do and some that don’t.
Vèrá Brádłeÿ - Stores are small and has dedicated staff to watch merchandise. No known LP but staff is dedicated. Will call mall security. Safest bet is to lightning conceal ID/lanyards, and small wallets. Customer to staff ratio is 2:1.
GámèStöp - Avoid mall stores. Later at night usually 1-2 people working. Cameras aren’t actively monitored and don’t record. Best to conceal fast and leave. Sometimes making a purchase will deter accusation. If you’re alone in the store with staff they will watch you.
Pètco/Pètsmart - Cameras record but aren’t actively monitored. Avoid expensive reptiles/fish isles. Won’t chase, but may prosecute or call police. That’s if you get caught but they’re usually vaping in the break room lol.
Bàth Áñd Bödy Wòrkš - Newer locations have cameras but aren’t known to record. Avoid mall stores and go for outdoor shopping centers. Will CS you do death if suspected. Best bet is to lightning conceal and leave asap.
Èárthböûñd - Newer locations have cameras. Tagging is currently unknown. Staff and store managers will act as LP. Won’t prosecute but will ask for merch back and may ban you. Avoid concealing in jewelry sections.
Spèñcèrs - Cameras aren’t actively monitored but do record. Avoid lingerie/adult toys isles. Will chase. Store managers will act as LP.
Cłaîrè’s - Newer stores have cameras. Store managers may act as LP. Won’t prosecute or chase but will ask for merch back and ban you. Best time to lïft is while they’re doing a piercing on a customer.
Máçÿ’s/Dïllīàrd’š/JĆP - Stores have dedicated LP and may have an actual police officer in the back rooms (I have first person experience and it was not pleasant.) Will chase, prosecute, and ban you via making you sign a trespass. Cameras rotate and they do case build. Will issue civil demand. If you get charged you may have to contact an attorney. They will remember you as I scoped out the location 3 weeks prior to my lïft. They remembered me.
Wàłgrèéñ’ś & ÇVŠ - Regional LP. Will get called in when a theft has occurred (but usually ORC from employees). Won’t prosecute usually but will chase or try to get a picture of your license plate. Avoid liquor isles. Inner isles without the mirrors are your safest bet.
Döłłár Gènèrâł - Cameras aren’t actively monitored but they will follow you if suspected. They do tag and have door sensors.
Döłłâr Trêé - Since they are getting more expensive merchandise some have cameras. Aren’t actively monitored but will get followed around if suspected. Easy store. Use common sense.
Any stores operating under the TJX brand. (Márshálłs TJMáxx) Have LP and cameras are actively monitored. Frequent tagging and has door sensors. Strict with fitting room. Will chase, prosecute, and ban.
Röśš - Employs AP. Will have the letters “LP” or “loss prevention” on the back of their shirts, usually men. Will call police, sometimes chases and cameras are actively monitored. Overtags everything. Best bet is to grab and run.
Bïg Lötś - Regional LP. Cameras aren’t actively monitored. Outside isles have mirrors. Avoid back of the store because that will cause you to have suspicion. Won’t chase, sometimes calls police, always bans.
Öłd Nâvÿ - (credits goes to @readysetlift) My old navy does have security (not in the best area) I have another store like 30 mins from me that does not. Easiest to conceal on the dressing room. I find blind spots in baby section and boy sections. Need a magnet to pop tags. Most kids stuff is not tagged. Most if not all sweats/joggers/jeans are tagged near the ankle. Most t-shirts are not tagged.
Bürkéś Öülèt - Has LP and closely watches cameras. Cameras can rotate. However there are blind spots and are spread throughout the stores. The men’s department is best for concealing or children’s apparel. Avoid makeup and handbags. Not known to chase but may prosecute and ban.
Köhłś - (I have first hand experience with this as well). Cams are heavily monitored and do record. Has 1-3 LP agents at several points of the store. They may act as door greeters and may be behind the customer service desk as soon as you walk in. Best to conceal is home decor. Avoid electronics, handbags, and apparel. Will block doors, call police, and prosecute.
Bürłïngtöń - Has LP but cameras aren’t heavily monitored. Cameras are very scarce. Best to conceal is clearance, shoes, and home decor. Won’t chase but will try to call you back into the store or may try to block doors. Will prosecute if you refuse to cooperate.
Dïckś Spörtïñg Göødś - I’m not sure if they have LP but employees are dedicated. Most of them wear earpieces. Not known to chase but will prosecute and call police. Try to avoid all together because everything is expensive.
Béd Bàth & Bèÿóñd - Regional LP. Workers will follow you if you’re suspicious. Cameras can rotate and are monitored and recorded. Best to conceal in shower curtains. Avoid electronics. Will prosecute, call police, and ban.
Cïtī Trèñds - No AP but managers can act if necessary. Not many cameras and don’t rotate. Blind spots are everywhere just make sure you’re quick. Managers in the office may watch cameras very closely so assume someone’s in the office at all times.
This list is currently a work in progress (wip) so it may get changed overtime.
