🥂🍻🍹🍷BOOZY LIFTING TIPS🍷🍹🍻🥂
hello, my sweet babies!! here’s a post that hopefully will turn into a flourishing thread because it needs to be addressed! for any of my minors out there, BE MINDFUL that by law you aren’t supposed to consume alcohol under the age of 21 (but who’s stopping you amiright?!)…let alone lift it (even better lol)!! regardless, take all of this info with a grain of salt and stay safe, lovely’s!!
🍷Knowing your advatanges/disadvantages:🍷
It’s no secret that alcohol is constantly being watched by LP. Even in “low security” stores that appear to have little/no surveillance, there is usually at least one camera ALWAYS pointing toward the booze because they expect you to steal it. So, you should first really look at yourself and check for any of the following:
❌RED FLAGS (Disadvantages):
- being under 21 yrs (duh)
- LOOKING like your under 21 yrs… ^these first 2 disadvantages are HUGE and should not be looked over. pls be careful
- Having a bad habit of leaving/returning constantly to the same area very quickly
- Having a large, black bag OR BACKPACK (don’t fkin do this bro your ass will get watched like a hawk)
- Picking up too many other things
- Being Sus before even getting to the booze isle
- Being a suspect from previous lifting trips (if you’ve been hella sussed before and you think they’ll remember your face, bag, liscense plate, or if they took and hung a picture of you in the back blah blah blah)
If any of the above might be of concern to you, try your best to change these red flag or avoid lifting alcohol all together. better safe than sorry, ESPECIALLY MINORS.
✔️That being said, here are some POINTERS (Advantages):
- Appearing older or having a more professional physique (look mature, but not overly standoutish)
- WALKING WITH PURPOSE. if you walk shy and timid, they will watch you more closely oml
- Get in the habit: Check prices, Read Labels, Dont act skiddish, Seem like a shopper
- Very experienced with: walking and concealing, lighting concealing, recognizing VERY GOOD blind spots
This might seem redundant, but it’s actually very important: different kinds of alcohol will be much harder to lift compared to others. For example, the next time you visit your local grocery store or whatever, take a look at the placement of not only the cameras, but also the alcohol!!! Wines and Wine Coolers tend to be or appear to be less directly watched (eg. they’re on the end of the isle, on a display that’s not being seen by the camera from one side, or on a display in a main isle that’s not near a camera). Here are some things I’ve picked up:
***GENERALLY**** Less Surveillance On:
- Alcohol “accessories” (Marg mix, mixers, ect)
***HIGH SURVEILLANCE***** (i have not even tried these)
- Expensive Wines/Beer Cases
My general rules of thumb when determining MY PERSONAL OPINION of what’s high or lower surveillance:
- is it available at a common grocery store?? WINE: duh, therefore it’s less “rare” and in my experience, less watched HARD LIQUOR: no, sadly; therefore, it’s a high budget item sold at special stores almost exclusively and will be highly surveiled
- how many are available? Again, wine is legit everywhere
- in less surveilled stores, is this item directly monitored by a camera?? In A FEW** of my local grocery stores AND gas stations, wine has been out of the way of cameras and sometimes even the liquor isle all together
** DO NOT visit one store and assume that because a certain drink is directly surveilled or not, it’s like that everywhere; scope out many locations (grocery stores, gas stations, convenience stores, ect) and try to figure out some rules specifically for you and your local boozey drinks!!
Before you go over to that isle for the LOVE OF ALL THATS GOOD AND HOLY, identify ALL cameras, ALL SAs or customers that may be near the area, ALL blind spots, ect. this part is crucial, babies
After considering all of the above and really taking your time with it, it’s time to get to work!! Like we’ve said a million times, booze is hard to lift but it’s possible. You may have to tweak some of your own concealing techniques because of alcohols difficulty to get away with. Here are a few of my personal favorite ways to conceal:
- Grab a bottle very discretely. While walking away from the camera, slowly and carefully move your arms in from of your body and quickly put the bottle in your purse without large movements. The camera will more than likely just see you walking away harmlessly with your bottle!! Be sure to walk to an area without a camera so it won’t see your empty hands after immediately leaving the isle.
- Scope out some bottles and look very interested in reading and pricing. With your body facing away from the camera and your purse by your side, either pop one bottle in very smoothly with one hand while “digging for a bottle at the back of the shelf”; OR grab a few in your basket and conceal one while walking away
- IF YOU LOOK OLDER, grab a few in your basket and shop around, them pop some in your bag in isles with no cameras (if you are/ look young, they will wonder why you have that much alcohol in the first place)
- If the bottles are on a display table, walk past the table with your back to the camera and grab one VERY DISCRETELY while walking if you’re sure that no customers are coming toward you. Conceal in from of your body to block from camera (personal fave)
- You can plop them in a reusable grocery bag too… i prefer that over a purse sometimes
In Conclusion: Be fast, Be smooth, Be Discrete, BE CONFIDENT
Alright guys, things to from this post and my personal tips and tricks:
- smaller (NOT MA & PA STORES) grocery stores, gas stations, and convenience stores in your area are safer bets. Wáłmârt, târgêt, çvś, Ect. will be harder to lift from because of their technology and $$. they can afford more LP and more surveillance in alcohol so I honestly wouldn’t mess with them at all (although my local CVš is easy for me because of its setup). Stick with more run down and smaller stores, but pls don’t take from personal businesses guys!
- Hard liquor is going to be hard regardless. Liquor stores are nuts yo
- BEST TIP: go to a grocery store WITHOUT TOWERS. Yes, they exist. That’s another reason I love smaller chain grocery stores. That way you don’t have to stress about tags or stickers… one less thing to worry about! **BE AWARE some places may have hidden towers, but smaller chain grocery stores and gas stations probably don’t js. That’s why we scope places out multiple times before we lift! just use your noggin, think about it a store could really afford hidden towers, cams, ect… be smart!
- GLASS MAKES HELLA LOUD SOUNDS. Either only take one glass bottle or be sure to bring a shirt or so
thing to wrap/separate the bottles so they don’t clink (id do this in the bathroom tbh)
- DO. NOT. DROP. THE BOTTLE.
- DO. NOT. DROP. YOUR BAG.
- Don’t so this frequently please!! be safe y’all
- Minors: being caught with alcohol is another offense on its own. Especially in your car. Please, do not have alcohol or anything like that in your car because you will get fucked up if police find it. Try to get it off your person as fast as you can when you get home!!
- OVERCONSUMING ALCOHOL IS DANGEROUS TO THE BODY & CAN INFERFER WITH SOME MEDICATIONS & DONT DRINK N DRIVE & DONT DRINK IF YOUR PREGNARANT ECT (i had to put the warning)
This is not for everyone, but for those who are interested/ capable… I hope this helps!! Remember, alcohol is high theft and will be watched, but we’re smart!! leave more tips & comments below!!
**These are all my own ***PERSONAL*** tips and experiences, everyone’s situation is different; don’t be mean to me pls
