super easy!! works best if you go in with a backpack looking like a student (if you’re the right age ofc)
step 1: walk in, look around, pick up a few books (i’d say max of 3, but if you can get away with more, then you do you, but start off small on your first time here). DO NOT go near the medical books. just don’t touch them.
step 2: go to the starbucks cafe, buy a coffee and maybe a snack if ur feelin it. i prefer to always pay with cash if i do buy something while i’m lifting, but you can use your best judgement on that one.
step 3: take a seat, drink ur coffee, eat ur snack, text ur friends, check ur tumblr, and all the while be leading through the books you plan to lift. check for rfid tags (esp on hardcovers). try to take ur time and sit there for like an hour. it also help a lot if u brought ur own books and notebooks so you can act and look like ur studying and u can “mix up” all of those books u have there.
step 4: whenever u feel ready just pack it all up and head out. if u beep or someone mentions that u didn’t pay for them just get really embarrassed and apologize and say u got caught up in the book and just forgot. at this point i either gotta pay for it or leave it there. but since someone noticed u didn’t pay for it, don’t act like u weren’t going to in the first place. look through ur wallet and get a disappointed look on ur face and say u left ur credit card at home and u’ll have to come back for them another time.
that’s about it! walk out with all the confidence in the world. maybe wear some ear buds so it looks like ur listening to music so sa’s won’t bother you (but don’t play music because u want to be able to listen for cues that they’re onto u.
