The name is Gai, and I'm a roleplay account who plays the role of a character who 🏋️♂️s from big chain stores in America. irl I love capitalism and would never dream of being a crook when the one percent all fairly and ethically acquired their riches! Of course everything is paid for!
If you'd like I am always open for asks or messages! I'm now allowed to message/comment through my main blog again luckily :3
I'm a trans man of color who mainly focuses on crafts, food, and "everyday" stuff and so my experiences and advice might be different from others. However I have been branching out to occasionally get clothes and cosmetics lately!
PLEASE READ THIS POST IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME COMING ACROSS IT!
PLEASE check out dr@gônfrû¡t.a¡ , i saw a sticker at a mall in the town over from mine and says they use this, clients including AM3R1C@N 3AGL3, LULU, C@N@DI@N T|R3, AND MORE. Al LP technology is ALREADY HERE in YOUR TOWN.
it says it can predict behavior before you even do anything, and the nature of it means it automatically becomes smarter the longer it runs. this CAN and WILL be your downfall - you need to make sure your sleight of hand is perfect, your area, your posture, your expression, your movement, EVERYTHING.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
check YOUR local stores for any signs of Al being implemented; all i saw was a very obvious sticker on the window by the door advertising dr@g0nfrû¡†. YMMV.
re-assess your lifting habits - now more than ever, it is dangerous and feasible to get caught even with great technique. you don't need to lift out of necessity... but please be aware of your habits. are you doing this to self soothe? to avoid an emotion? this can become a real addiction, and you deserve forms of self care that don't threaten yourself. it can feel like fun and games, but this really is serious.
re-assess yourself - i hate to say it, but we know Al will have bias, and this affects some of us more than others, including POC and the disabled. if you are autistic or otherwise neurodivergent especially, your gait, posture and general movement could potentially flag the Al to watch you more. (anyone else remember the post about how LP watch for elbows on the shopping cart...?)
harm reduction - zero judgement if you continue, either for fun or for necessity; my heart seriously bleeds for those of you that rely on this to live. but you need to brush up on skills, REMEMBER YOUR RIGHTS, and try to not take things you know you don't need.
alternatives - obviously 🧬 is unaffected and it's business as usual, consider swapping methods either partially or entirely. for perishables, there's no harm in seeing if your local food pantry can take extra people (is it only near me where you have to sign up for it...!?)
i love each and every one of you and if companies weren't so fucking evil this would be a cool technology... but god we all know how shit the economy is. to tally a total and it's so much higher than it should be. many of us only have a taste of a form of proxy financial freedom though this and that can be invigorating, but if it's overconsumption, it isn't sustainable. i know that was a bunch of buzzwords back to back but it's true
hiii! do stores usually use source tagging? & are the security 🔖s inside the (cosmetics) packaging sometimes? if so do u have any tips 4 getting past them
Hello there!! Many apologies for the long wait I have been offline here for a while ToT
But when it comes to source tags, they come from the product company/factory themselves and when it comes to stores it usually will depend on if they have working towers that pick up on them! But safe bet that if they have towers, products that use source tags will get alerted.
An example of a store that may have products with source tags that arent useful is places like F1v3 Be10w that dont use towers, which then you wouldnt need to worry.
Technically there are RF tags and AM tags which could make a difference if a tower is only picking up on AM tags but to be safe, just treat them the same. Yes there are cosmetics that have them but it depends on the brand!
The only way really to get past them is either cutting the tag through the box or ditching the box altogether, though box ditching is not usually recommended. And sometimes if it's an electronic or tool for example, they may have a tag on or in the product itself!
Hihi I hope everyone is doing well here! I apologize for being gone for most of the month ^_^;; with the weather, personal life, and current events I've slowed down a lotttt since I havent gotten much motivation to even get on here for a while.
I wish everyone a warm and safe time wherever you are and please take care!!
Hihi apologies for being inactive for so long!! Got very busy lately and I didn't realize how long I was gone >~< this is still an older h4ul but I'll get everything posted in time!! Hope everyone is doing well! ^_^
me and my workplace lp greeting each other (i have no idea if he’s being nice because he likes watching me squirm because he knows i got buzzed and lifted in front of every damn camera in the store OR if he’s just being genuinely nice)
