Sorry if this has already been asked, but why does Liftblr hate borrowing tiktok so much?

NO CLUE how old this ask is, I've been offline for over a year.

But basically it's because TikTok is in the mainstream, more businesses will see stuff posted on there, and it's super algorithm focused so there's no way to keep a post from getting big while also still building community. TikTok made lifting trendy, which brings more attention to us and that's definitely not what we want.

Also, privacy. TikTok will show your posts to people in your contacts, people who live in the same area as you, which means you're more likely to get in trouble. The video format encourages people to post their faces on there also

realized I'm being 3xpl01t3d does anyone want tips on how to get free shit from p*n3r@

[transguylifter]

@cloudlifts @quiet-klepto @sntcher

first off I would like to say that these will probably not work all of the time, and the p-n3ra where I work might be very different from other locations

also, be nice to employees we are so underpaid (I make literally minimum wage) and tip if you are buying anything

you can get a lot of shit by just straight up asking. we'll assume we fucked up your order, but

you can get a free side if you just say "hey um, I wanted bread instead of chips" or "is it okay if I get an apple?" to either an employee who's on line (making the food behind the counter where you pick up your food) or someone wiping down tables (usually what I'm doing). I'd recommend the latter because then they might go and get the food for you

come in during rush, for me that's around 5 30 to 6 30, and try to time it so there's a line behind you so it's loud. this might help with a lot but if you want a free "specialty" drink. get a strawberry smoothie, and after they give it to you come to cash or to someone on dining and say you wanted a strawberry banana smoothie. the names are really similar to each other. as long as you're nice to us about it we'll probably get you another drink and assume whoever rang you up misheard you

the same works with frozen caramel and frozen chocolate cold brew

just ask for a water cup and fill it with tea/soda/iced coffee instead. maybe wait a bit on the coffee so we don't notice you scamming us

you can also say you dropped your cup and want a new one, this might also work with the hot drink cups but again, the coffee is by the register so wait a bit inside so it looks like you came back from your table. might work better if you've actually bought a cup and want a second one

sometimes people on cash are stupid (me, I'm people) and forget to get your bakery stuff for you. might not happen but if it does you can lie and say that they forgot something again. maybe tell them directly instead of another employee so they don't get in trouble

also, it typically costs extra for cream cheese with bagels. order it and don't ask for cream cheese, come back and ask for it. if they make you pay then just say nevermind, but they might just give it to you for free since we won't want to go through the trouble of ringing up just cream cheese

What's it like being a trans llfter? Are you cis passing & therefore you don't get anxiety over not passing & therefore don't arouse suspicion for looking anxious? Do you pretend to be an innocent woman while llfting? What's your style? A lot of trans ppl are into alt fashion & a lot of trans men dress like trashy teenaged boys & all the tips I see are "dress like you can afford the place" or aimed towards women in general. Thanks!

I'm typically considered cis-passing (I think?), as long as I'm not using my customer service voice. Generally my only concern about my appearance stems from being neur*divergent, I now tend to wear the same jacket everywhere I go and I genuinely don't have a great grasp on what's considered "acting normal"

this blog's been a little inactive as I don't lift nearly as much anymore, but back when I did lift a decent amount (mostly from lower-end stores at the mall, d0llar tr33, r1t3 a1d, craft stores) I tried to dress very casually but not too messily.

I usually wore a grey pullover hoodie a lot, blue jeans that weren't too baggy or tight with no rips, and on occasion a jacket over that. Alternatively, a well-fitting button-down with short sleeves, or black pants. I tend to have a more casual, "basic" style, as I'm wary of feeling like I'm being looked at, even out of the context of lifting, it's just one of my slightly-debilitating neuroses

I live in a bigger city with a lot of at least mildly-alternative-looking people (lots of dyed hair), but I'm not sure how to gauge how that affects lifting. My boyfriend, who is also a trans guy, typically dresses more on the alternative (punk)/androgynous end, hasn't had many problems lifting from the same places I usually lifted from (as far as I know). But he's stopped lifting from anywhere other than d0llar tr33 due to anxiety about getting caught and his work finding out, so I don't have any recent experiences to pull from

I think the only advice I can really think of for guys is aim for a "clean" look, maybe keep the makeup off for the day unless using it to cover up eyebags and such. Take showers, keep your hair looking washed/somewhat neat (ok if a little messy), maybe use antiperspirant. Wear well-fitting, clean clothes with no rips. Try to relax your body. All-black or dark outfits are a bad choice

Sorry if this doesn't really help, I'm mostly retired from lifting as I just rarely go out anymore aside for work. Also, I would like to note me and my boyfriend are both white. I have lifted with a transmasc friend (who presents more androgynous) who is brown and into alternative (specifically emo) fashion, and he's told me he liked lifting with me because I'm like a "white privilege pass" but I'm not aware of the extent of his difficulties with lifting

STOP SHARING ED ON MY MF FEED, I will 100% block you. I’m tired of seeing it, as a person with an underlining Ed I’d appreciate it you stopped. 🙂

[cann1balcr1mez]

god PLEASE, it isn’t that difficult to separate your ED and l1fting blogs. it’s just triggering for other people and as someone who suffers with one it really sucks.

These pictures aren’t aesthetically pleasing at all BUT did this all in one go and I’m super proud and excited. Seriously couldn’t wait to post to show you guys.

I let my best friend and her boyfriend move in so I kinda have a lifting buddy for the mean time, anyways I spent $99.53 and got all of this for free. I’d call it a win. We just went through self check out and got the corner one, got about 20ish things to scan we actually needed for the house like toliet paper etc. Stood side by side and went to town, I actually scanned things and she used the gun. I bagged what was small and left the bigger stuff out like the pizza rolls and booked it out.

I mostly body conceal but I do the self check out thing every once in a while. Maybe 2/3 things. My girlfriend is a straight edge cutie so she doesn’t actually know I steal. She just knows I’ll scan a cheaper version of something to get it cheaper lol so like I said I’m very proud because it’s hard to sod anything w her up my ass. And if anyone hasn’t noticed, Pandora is VERY spoiled. Anytime I go to a store I make sure to at least get her some treats or a toy.

friendly reminder that I will always support members of the community that chose to stop łifting. this community doesn’t talk about this as much as we should, but shøplifting can become a serious addiction and it can take control of your life. this isn’t all fun and games, this thing that we do has serious consequences and it can destroy lives. if you ever decide that you need to take a break, or even quit all together, that’s completely ok and I’m proud of you either way❤️

[urfavoritelifter]

hi, i know i haven’t posted in awhile it’s mostly because i’ve been dealing with a lot of stress but i just wanted to make a very important post. my bf is black and we l!ft together, or i’ll do it when he’s with me and i just wanted to remind you guys:

ALWAYS ALWAYS TAKE THE FALL FOR YOU POC FRIENDS BECAUSE I PROMISE YOUR PUNISHMENT WON’T BE AS BAD.

it’s a completely different thing to commit crimes and not be white, and us white ppl need to keep that in mind. listen to your poc friends, if they sense that something is up and want to ditch, DO IT! it’s their lives on the line, it’s a slap on the wrist for you.

[vanillanarchy]

honestly

PSA from your not-so-local food service worker: we do not care if you get a cup "for water" and fill it up with soda. Feel free to do that, maybe tip the money you would've spent, lots of us make exactly minimum wage
