At work today my co-worker came up to the register with like two handfuls of hard tags and screamers and on the outside I was like “Holy shit. Fucking crooks.” Inside however I was like “Holy shit I wanna see that haul.”

By the way, I am currently employed at a R0$$ So if anyone has any questions even though it’s literally the easiest store. Just ask me.

two-for-none

ayy i always want extra help. what’s the lp situation like?

moonstonelift

Okay so I’m going to tell you what I know so far because LP was with me for literally a WEEK and then the company got rid of ours because we had such low loss (LMAO but now we dont). I’ll talk to a coworker of mine who has worked with them for years though and update this post. Take all this with salt though because these are for stores in my region but all stores re different.

What I do know/various other facts since I work as everything but LP:

-They and all employees are not allowed to step off the curb/sidewalk next to the store. So if you grab some shit and run into the parking lot then congrats you have won. Keep in mind though that employees that feel like they need to be heroes and random customers might chase you. I say “not afraid to be fired” because if we are caught doing this we are automatically terminated. We aren’t even allowed to carry furniture to an elderly persons car, they have to pull up to the curb.

-We aren’t allowed to check your purse/reusable bag unless you allow us to (some people are so afraid of being seen as theives they actually come to us randomly and are like “I just want you guys to know I came in to use the bathroom and didn’t steal anything”) So if you come in, conceal and leave but you beep. We just wave you off and are usually like “probably your phone!” If you bought something though like sheets, clothing, or comforters. We will just check to see if we missed something and if there’s nothing we just wave you off again lmao.

-If we see you conceal then you will have LP and SA circling you but the SA can not approach you ever. It’s pretty much intimidation. We simply aren’t allowed to. Take this with a grain of salt though because there are always outliers. A manager is allowed to approach you apparently but ours is fucking passive and won’t approach. Just sighs.

-Don’t conceal in the fitting room unless your local store has people who just don’t fucking care. At our store not only do we count every single piece (i.e a 2 piece swimsuit counts as 2 items instead of 1) we pat down the clothes to check for hidden ones, and we shake it sometimes to make hidden things fall out. Also if you don’t come out with all the items, SA and LP will be notified and will follow you.

-If you’re going to swap tags, do it with similar items. Our registers read little descriptions of the items on our screens so that black top you want might read “Black ruffle top” but the kid tag that you swapped it with will say “Girl Pink skirt” Same thing for shoes. We also have the price written on the bottom for situations like this.

-Even if you grab some purses and run off into the sunset, we don’t call the police. This frustrates my managers to no end but we simply just stand there literally helpless.

-If you see the stock teaming putting electronics and accessories on the floor, follow them. We aren’t allowed to hardtag in the stock room so we do it on the floor and if you see us and say “Oh that is what I’ve been looking for! Could I see that?” and it’s not something we need to spider web, then we’ll just hand it to you and you can say “Thanks, I think I’ll buy this!” Rarely do we call you back to tag it, and that’s usually just the dedicated people. You can tell who’s stock because we have those big metal rolling racks called Hummers, and a stack of literal blue bins filled with shit. We also look miserable to be pulling that shit with us.

-Don’t be rude. If you’re rude everyone will know fast and that gains more attention on you because they’ll be watching and thinking “Ugh there’s that person.” and will customer service the shit out of you. Polite people though? A happy memory but zero attention on you unless you do something sus.

-Speaking of Sus. Just be calm and relaxed. If you look nervous when a SA is around you or you keep glancing at us then that makes you sus and we are forced to follow you around.

-Don’t buy luggage, purses, and backpacks and fill it with shit before check out. because we are suppose to check the insides before finishing the transaction and get in hella trouble if we don’t (Even when I do my manager still goes “Did you check their bag? They were in an awful hurry” like yeah dude. Not everyone loves standing at the front for 3 minutes just staring at their phone.)

-Unless your store makes a hella ton of money then nobody is watching those cameras. Infact our managers desk faces AWAY from the monitor. So if the manager(s) on the floor you’re golden.

-Pretty sure this is basically every store but if you return something without a receipt then we use your license # to track and there’s a limit that if you hit you no longer can do no receipt returns. Anything over $50 requires a manager to confirm and if they’re sus they can turn you away. It’s also store credit but if you have a gift card we can put it on there too which is awesome because we waste so much paper for those returns :/

That’s all I can think of right now but I’ll add whatever my coworker tells me tomorrow because she has been working with the company for YEARS. Hope this helps you guys. We are such an easy picking store god damn.

Boosting inside info for my American pals. OMFG, you are a legend for sharing this! <3

Alright y’all I got an update on what LP was allowed to do. Fucking nothing. They weren’t allowed to do anything we weren’t. So they were basically SA who greeted you, and tried to intimidate you with their “LP” shirts. Like I said though, some workers aren’t afraid to be fired so be cautious.

So my last post went over great, so I put together some info based on the questions I got xoxo

Excuse my design skills, I’m a lifter not a designer.

This is also based on my own time and my own experiences only

Let me know your thoughts and if anyone wants anything else covered :)

Random Lift Tips

(in no particular order) - save your shopping bags. When you scope, ask for some bags. If your purse is small, conceal in shopping bags rather than your purse. If you save your bags you won't have to buy shit every time you wanna lift. Plus, it's economical! - if you're in a place that sells mirrors/ has mirrors on the walls, pretend to check yourself up/ check your makeup while looking behind you for cams - if you're in a dressing room with an unattended dump rack, look through it. There may be things you want, and even if not, pick something up from the rack to fill empty hangers after concealing. - if an sa talks to you, be causal. 1-2 approaches is not sus at all, and often the sa is required to help customers a certain number of times. When you scope, see and count how many sa's look your way and speak to you, so you don't freak yourself out every time someone looks your way when you lift. - in clothing stores, use deep racks to your advantage. If you need to conceal something on the floor, have a shopping bag or your purse on your wrist and reach into the deep rack with the thing you want. Pretend to be shuffling and checking for sizes on the rack while concealing, and take away something from the rack to cover up your itemless hand. - if you look too young, don't fret! I see many people here saying that you look immediately sus if you look like a teen, and even if you do look like one (Team babyface here), there are ways around it. If an sa talks to you, you can take advantage of your youthful looks and say you are looking around while your mom is *insert excuse*. Alternatively, you can also use contour to emphasize laugh lines, dark circles, cheekbones, and wrinkle areas to look older. -if you always get nervous, listen to some calm music as you lift/ before you lift. I like classical myself, but things like asmr sounds or the sound of music songs work too! If you listen while you lift, it will also keep you concious of how much time you've spent in a store (you don't want to be in a clothing store for example for more than 20 minutes). - if you think an sa is sussing you, go up to them and ask a question or pointedly browse near an sa. Nobody expects a lifter to get closer/ socialize with anyone who could get them caught, and it will at least plant a seed of doubt into the sa's head, which may be wnough to keep you from getting caught, depending on the store - try to know what you plan to lift before you go. If you're wandering all around the store for thirty minutes, not only do you already seem out of place and sus, but you also look nervous to sa's - luckily, glasses as a fashion statement are making a bit of a comeback. Glasses can do wonders for a face, so carry a pair while you lift with you if you can.

Urban Outfitters is INCREDIBLY easy to steal from

saw this on the shoplifting subreddit, thought you guys would like to see this as well!

Just a PSA from a former employee: Go to town at Urban Outfitters. They do not have cameras throughout the store. The only camera at UO is at the store entrance, and it is not actively monitored (only used as reference later on should an incident occur). There’s no LP in store, though some high volume stores will post a uniformed guard at front. They have a no chase policy for their employees, so even if you’re stopped at the door, they can not pursue you if you simply leave. But possibly the most important thing is their fitting room policy - you can bring as many articles of clothing into the fitting rooms with you as you want - 10, 20, even more. Though they are supposed to count your items before you enter and after you leave, bringing a large number of items in with you makes it extremely difficult to keep track of that number, especially on a busy day. Some employees are also a lot less zealous about counting than others. Some will ask you for the number without actually counting themselves, and some won’t even care about the number at all - YMMV on that. You are only allowed to bring clothing into the fitting room, so if you’re trying to bring jewelry, accessories, underwear, gadgets or whatever into the room with you, make sure they’re concealed first. I suggest casing the fitting room on a busy day to see how they’re handling it. As for security tags, all UO stores use the same smooth black clamshell magnetic tags which are easily removed by a strong magnet. They typically only tag items $20 and over, but YMMV on that as well. Some stores have special tags for sunglasses which can also be removed with a magnet. They also carry a number of expensive electronic items, such as cameras, which are spider wrapped. If you notice that the fitting room people aren’t checking very thoroughly, you can hide one of these items under a pile of clothing, take it into the fitting room, and work off the spider wrap. Note that they may also soft tag some items such as sock or underwear which don’t have hard tags, so always check the packaging for those (soft tags will always be in a place that you can find them, as they are only added to items after they arrive at the store). And as for the employees themselves, most of them are people under 30 only hired to fit a certain aesthetic. They don’t receive LP training and are told to give exceptional customer service to suspected shoplifters, so if anyone is paying extra attention to you, you might have given yourself away. The code terms used on radio for shoplifters is Mr. and Mrs. Nick, so if you hear that they definitely know. For the most part they are understaffed. If you can conceal something out of the line of sight of an employee, you’re golden, since again - no cameras.

Help: Buying a Golf Detatcher

Need to buy a gold detatcher, but I don't know which sellers on eBay/Aliexpress are legit. If anyone here bought one, where did you get it (link please?) and did it work on those annoying ass clamshell tags they have at UO?

When you become lp from a store you used to lift from

swipingbandit

Im planning on going to the sephora at our jcpenny in the mall. I'll have a friend, we'll both be nice and presentable, have a plan beforehand so neither of us freeze or panic. I just wanted to know is there any products that are off limits; such as palettes or the expensiver brands??

I don’t live near a JCPenney, but I’ve heard scary stories about it D: Like LP are always watching even when you’re super discreet and only getting a liner. I would avoid urban decay pallets personally and go for small items. Orrrr look for your closest stand alone Sephora

princess-lifty

Just don't. If your JCipSeph looks anything like mine, there are no blindspots anywhere, and spending longer than 10 mins in the store = crazy CS

jabberspawn

Do you ever just…decide to lift something because you find out its price?? Like, I’m not even interested in this lip balm, but it’s $50…so I must have it.

yeah suddenly it looks all sparkly to my eyes…

First Week As LP

The things I’ve learned. Too fucking extensive guys. LP is a whole new WORLD.

Let me share with you some of the more lesser known things since taking this job.

1.) Companies ARE aware of the lifting side of the internet, they DO read our posts for clues.

2.) Lifters are usually on their game when they think they can identify LP. Those posts about like “you know it’s LP when ______such and such happens_____” they’re DEADON

3.) Know at Târget, cameras are always watched by one or two people and they communicate with at least one or two plainclothes by texting.

4.) SO, if you notice someone near you twice in a store and they are texting and not really shopping….BIG CLUE.

5.) LP make bets on how many lifters they can catch. It is a boring job, we mostly watch the cameras and find honest people.

6.) Catching a lifter gives us an adrenaline rush. It’s a cat and mouse game. Making yourself obvious only fuels us to hunt down others.

7.) Acting SUS will get our attention immediately. Distraction may work to divert our attention.

8.) BIGGEST RED FLAGS:

–> Drag queens, transvestites, people who seem like they are in wonky clothes or dressed beyond their gender. If you look weird, we will watch you whether or not we think you’re lifting. It’s simple human curiosity and entertainment.

–> Minorities. Especially minorities in large groups.

–> Large groups of pre teen girls

–> Anyone with a big bag

–> People with baby bags and strollers

–> People who wear beanies, hoods, hats, or other accessories making their face hard to see.

–> People who avoid sale sections

9.) Internal theft is investigated a lot more than shoplifters sometimes.

10.) It’s a lot harder for us to see you conceal when you’re walking in a straight line and using your hands discreetly. Walking will make us have to zoom and adjust to your movements, it’s a pain in the ass.

11.) We have to follow protocol to make a lawful stop. If we don’t see you conceal, but pick up on the other 3 warning signs, we can’t do shit.

So here’s the tea First things first I’m not recycling hauls! I like certain products and scents so I just stock up on what I like For bâth and b0dy works - I had to take THREE trips to my car to drop the candles off. It was like a fucking buffet. I think there were 2 employees and they gave zero fucks. I’m never going back to this location so I just kind of went for it lmao

For szephora, candy store with no RFID and nobody cared

for vicctoriass secret - I just kept adding them to my bag and nobody cared. Ducked down and made my own blind spots after seeing where the cameras were at. Wayyyyyyyy too easy. I concealed about 15 pairs on my person and then couldn’t stuff any more into my bra so I had to legit just walk out as is. The SA didn’t even count me going in and out! She just left me alone. As I was leaving an employee locked the door and I was like internally having a heart attack but then I just said oh it’s closing time and she just smiled and unlocked the door, instead of going to the ER to treat the heart attack I just had lmao I proceeded to waaalgreens. They are dumb enough to hide their Bûürts bees behind a support beam so I just loaded up lmao

Baáth body works 27 candles x 35.42 = 956.34 Vanilla scrub x 3 = 71.34 Vanilla body lotion 19.28 Peach body lotion 19.28 Two sun lotions 30 Coconut lotion 19.28 Coco shea 24.80 Bath bombs x 9 = 100.08 Sheet mask x 2 = $20.00 Beach scrub 23.78 1284.18
