grocery store tips? my mother is moving out before me and I don’t have a job sooooo
finally got a car ✌️
Self-checkout is a goldmine for small-scale fraud because it relies on speed, minimal staff oversight, and a bit of trust. Most of the tricks aren’t high-tech—they’re about exploiting tiny gaps in how the system expects people to behave.
Here’s a breakdown of the most common manipulation tactics and how they actually play out:
⸻
🛒 1. “Skip Scanning” (the simplest one)
How it works:
* The person scans some items normally to look legitimate
* Then intentionally doesn’t scan a few items and places them straight into the bagging area
* They repeat a pattern: scan → skip → scan → skip
Why it works:
* Attendants are watching multiple lanes at once
* A few missed scans blend into normal behavior
🚩 Red flags:
* Items moving from cart to bag without a scan beep
* Hand motions that mimic scanning but don’t actually pass the barcode
* Covering the barcode with fingers
⸻
⚖️ 2. “Weight Bypass” tricks
Most self-checkouts use scales to verify items—but people try to beat that.
How it works:
* Partial bagging: Hold part of the item so the weight doesn’t fully register
* Leaning trick: Rest the item partly on the machine edge
* Pre-loading bags: Already having weight in the bag so the system doesn’t detect changes properly
🚩 Red flags:
* Hands staying in the bagging area too long
* Items not fully released onto the scale
* Repeated “unexpected item in bagging area” warnings being quickly cleared
⸻
🏷️ 3. “Product switching” (produce scam)
How it works:
* Select a cheaper produce item on the screen (e.g., onions)
* Place a more expensive item (like avocados or specialty fruit) on the scale
* System charges based on what was selected, not what it actually is
Why it works:
* Produce often relies on manual selection rather than barcode scanning
🚩 Red flags:
* Mismatch between what’s on screen and what’s physically there
* Expensive produce being rung in as cheap bulk items
⸻
🔄 4. “Barcode shielding / mis-scanning”
How it works:
* They scan a barcode from a different item (sometimes from their phone or another product)
* Or they angle the item so the scanner picks up the wrong code
🚩 Red flags:
* Phone held under scanner
* Item never clearly passes the barcode across the reader
* Repeated quick scans with minimal movement
⸻
🧾 5. “Scan one, bag many”
How it works:
* Scan one item
* Quickly place multiple identical items into the bag
* System only registers one
🚩 Red flags:
* Bulk items going into the bag faster than scans
* Quantity on screen doesn’t match physical count
⸻
🔁 6. “Void abuse”
How it works:
* Scan items
* Then void them out before paying
* Still walk away with the items
Why it works:
* Staff often don’t review void logs in real time
🚩 Red flags:
* High number of voids in a single transaction
* Void immediately followed by bagging
⸻
🧠 The psychology behind it
Most people doing this rely on:
* Blending in (they don’t look nervous, just casual)
* Volume over risk (small thefts repeated often)
* Staff overload (one attendant watching 6–10 machines)
shoplífting is on the rise in my city and getting a lotta press
there was an article now with videos of líf7ers FLOPPING on camera. just shoving stuff into a backpack on livestream
and what the police always are focusing on are homeless people and junkies and drunkards. they're taking alcohol and meat and being absolute menaces to staff
literally making me feel like im a cRIMINAL MASTERMIND for just being a cute polite girly with a hobby
also when they talk abt organizational crime rings and it's me putting an ole henriksen lip treatment up my puffy sleeve

yall I did a job interview at an èdiktèd store this weekend so imma make a small post about what they told us
we are going to ignore that I totally forgot to make this post a week ago and instead make it now, I didn't get hired so fuck ittttt ✌️
Shipments are once a week, and they don't use any sort of device for inventory management
Not sure if this is the case for all stores but in mine specifically they said it would be a team of 70 total (likelihood of running into the same employees is probably low)
Store is split into 3 zones, the front is one and then the other two are just floor. when I interviewed the store was still under construction so we didn't have the zoning layouts yet
3 employees at the front at all times
3 to 4 registers that are allocated every hour
With the fitting rooms there are supposed to be 2-3 people in that area at all times and they do take the items from you when you walk in
I'm not sure about the camera situation but I'm guessing concealing on the floor and detagging in the dressing room is probably best bet since you probably couldn't get away with missing items, not sure if they count leaving the dressing room though so that might be something I experiment with when they open 🤔
anyone know where to Iift Pokemon cards?

Masterpost!!
So it’s been requested that there be a huge list of stores and the types of tags they use so here is kind of a first draft. I actually had a lot of this written down already so there’s also some general advice about each store. I’ve put down what I learned through research or experience so some stores may have less info than others. Remember this can vary depending on where you live and you should always check thoroughly for tags!
This is a guide on types of tags (with pics) and removal for reference:-)
If there’s a store left off that you want me to add or you have any corrections/additional info please message me so I can add it and this list can be more informative!
Abercrombie and Fitch/Hollister Super tags that require a hook Black dome cameras, mostly near register, but the separate rooms make for easy concealment
Aerie/American Eagle Tags for items over $30-$40 In my experience the dressing rooms aren’t well monitored so I conceal there
Aeropostale No tags Personally I don’t shop here so I don’t have much advice about dressing rooms or cameras but as always scope out the store and leave if you’re sketched out!
American Apparel RFID and pencil tags Sometimes you can find things untagged. SAs count going into the dressing room but they don’t usually hover so you can conceal a few things
Anthropologie RFID
Bath and Body Works No tags! Few cameras (mostly by register) and easy to conceal; SAs will probably greet you but if you’re nice they’ll leave you alone
Barnes and Noble NEVER try to lift medical textbooks. Paperbacks are hardly tagged, especially books that have been out awhile, but still flip through them. If you are lifting a moleskin journal or something take the plastic off first. The best method is taking a school backpack, picking out a few books, then sitting for awhile, reading/doing work/etc then just sticking your new books in your backpack
Charlotte Russe I haven’t been in awhile so idk the tags but they do monitor dressing rooms. Once I went in an unlocked dressing room and an SA knocked and asked who gave me the room and why I didn’t have a card saying my # of items etc. However I don’t think they count coming out.
Claire’s No tags Lots of mirrors in Claire’s so watch for those when finding a blind spot!
DIck’s Sporting Goods Tags require a hook I believe; almost everything is tagged in apparel Someone has to unlock the dressing room but they don’t count items
Dillard’s No tags from what I’ve heard
Forever 21 Dome ink tags; require a magnet I don’t believe they use RFIDs, so if an item is untagged it’s probably good to go; However the dressing rooms are well monitored, so concealing on the floor is probably best
Francesca’s No tags! The stores are pretty small so concealing clothes can be a bit difficult, but if they don’t count in the dressing room you’re prob good to go. Jewelry is super easy though
Free People Attentive SAs; they like to start rooms for you. Conceal on the floor and try not to linger
Garage I believe some things have tags but I know there are things that don’t. Not many SAs in my experience so pretty easy to conceal if you find a blind spot. They also monitor dressing rooms pretty well
J Crew Tag items over $30 and uses RFIDs
H&M Not sure about tags Stores are generally big and the SAs stick to the register area so concealing isn’t very hard
Hot Topic Not exactly sure about tags but I don’t think they tag everything
Loft RFID Large store usually, and I don’t remember anyone ever monitoring the dressing rooms very much
Lush No tags! Small store and attentive SAs, so getting in out as fast as possible is best
Lululemon Most things are tagged (I don’t remember what kind) and SAs count going into dressing rooms. You can conceal things like leggings and shorts pretty easily, but only if you find a good blindspot since there are cams
Madewell RFID tags
Old Navy No tags Generally few cameras and dressing rooms aren’t monitored
Pacsun Ink tags or super tags, RFIDs inside cardboard tags. I’ve also seen gator tags that you can remove with a hair band Generally inattentive SAs, few cameras (still scope out in advance), don’t count going in dressing rooms
Starbucks No tags This is one of the easiest stores. After ordering a drink just pick up whatever stuff you want and hold it like you own it. As far as I know employees don’t really do much when merchandise goes missing, but make sure no other customers are paying attention
Sephora Some tags, likely RFIDs on palettes I don’t really mess with Sephora; lots of cams and attentive SAs
Target Black dome cameras all around the store. They count going into dressing rooms. Finding a blindspot is hard but can be done. Please be extremely careful here they have plainclothes LP that are generally pretty good and they really don’t fuck around lol
Urban Outifitters Black square tags that require a magnet; RFIDs in price tags I’ve heard they count going in and out of dressing rooms and that they use magnet sensors so be careful. I also believe they have LP but not much info on that
Victoria’s Secret Pencil tags that require a magnet, but they sometimes use tags that require hook so be prepared; tag almost all clothes and bras and the occasional panty Locations vary greatly, but employees can’t act on you unless they are sure you’re stealing. There’s a lot of advice about VS floating around, and most people conceal in the dressing room, using shopper bags to bring in a lot of underwear
Ulta RFIDs on palettes There’s usually a blind spot in the hair care section, but always scope out the area well. Pretty attentive SAs but just act like you know what you’re looking for
god bless this post
Gotta go to the mall tomorrow for an interview so possibly a small haul? it’s literally been so long since I’ve gotten anything other than snacks or smth 😭
