@ anon asking about chubby lifters, I hear ya. I'm a 6'4" trans man built like an offensive lineman. Thing is, "normal" people like us exist. Non lifters like us exist. I do stick out like a sore thumb wherever I go, but I'm polite and soft spoken and calm, and that works to my advantage. Dress for where you're lifting. Make an effort to look nice. It doesn't matter if you're chubby, you're probably not the only chubby shopper in the store. Because you ARE a shopper, not a lifter 😏😉

Lifting outfit formulas

1. Rich spoiled kid: (for the high end mall/store ) Crop top + nice pleated skirt + plaid shirt/denim shirt (leave open and flowy) + not shitty looking shoes

2. The Professional: (perfect for sleight of hand) Collared shirt+ blazer + black jeans/ dress pants + nice black boots or flats/pumps. In the summer swap out pants for a pencil skirt or dress.

3. Stylish but still pretty comfy: Denim/plaid shirt (tucked in) + high waisted shorts/ skirt + converse/vans/Nike or Adidas shiz

4. Winter Nice coat + nice shirt (blouse or collared are great)+ thin scarf + skinny jeans + heeled boots (or equivalent)

5. The beginner (if you haven’t lifted any of these to start 😂) Plain t-shirt + skinny jeans/high waisted shorts + sneakers or converse work, always. Simple and plain to blend in and not too shabby

6. The I just increased my chances of getting caught everywhere except Hot topic and Spencer’s. (Meant as a joke, pls don’t be offended.)

Bright unnatural hair + raccoon eyes + studded all-black clothing + grouchy facial expression + sketchy attitude + 4 inch stiletto boots 😂😂😂

Just some stuff I lifted this week. I have way too many Starbucks cups but they’re good for Christmas gifts. $193.00 without taxes

[liftsandshit]

storytime, i almost got caught

so @witchylifts and i started in pacsun. there were only two SAs there and they honestly gave no fucks. we brought in a lottt of stuff into the dressing room and started trying stuff on and detagging. stupidly, we put the removed tags into the pockets of an adidas jacket. when we were leaving, the lady working there was literally right outside of our dressing room and went inside to get the stuff we left in there. we zoomed outta there real fast and went to the bathroom to get everything situated. everything was all good. we were carrying the lifted stuff in victorias secret bags but hadnt hit vs yet so i waited in the food court with our stuff while my friend went to cop some vs. i saw the pacsun worker guy in the food court looking around so i just ducked my head and started texting.

so my lift buddy got back, got food, and it was now my turn to hit vs. i grabbed hella stuff and went into the fitting room to try stuff on and lift and whatnot. as i was trying stuff on, someone started talking to the workers. i barely heard them but i am so lucky i did. “have you seen a girl with a bun and a backpack?” (which was me except it was a mini purse sized backpack) so i stopped what i was doing and strained to listen. they said something about us going in and out of the bathroom and the vs worker said they hadn’t seen anyone like that. i listened for a few more minutes and all i could hear was vs SAs promoting stuff to other costumers. i frantically texted my friend to get the fuck to a safe place and to meet me there. i put on all the clothes that were in my bag, changed my hair, took off my sweater and bag (draped them over my arm), shoved the hangers in my cleavage, and decided to buy a sports bra to look less sus.

i walked outta there and went to the meeting place. there was a security guard near the entrance to the mall, clearly looking for someone. i ducked out of there and changed our meeting place. 

once i met with her, we just started browsing in random stores and talking about girl stuff, then went to the bathroom and got everything situated and condensed our bags. there was security patrolling the mall when usually theyre just in their office doing fuckin nothing. they were literally looking for us. we continued to lift a few small things. however, we still had an hour till our parents were coming to pick us up so we went to earthbound just to browse. i got the socks i wanted and got away with those. i tried to slid a tarot card book into my bag but was caught. the SA asked me to leave and told me ‘next time ill call security’ so i just played dumb and pretended that i accidentally put it in there when i was searching for my phone.

we got away with everything else, got home safe, but we are not going back to that mall for a long fucking time. dont be stupid like us. it almost cost us.

What was this strategy?

[face--the--strange]

If gender is innate, if girls and boys are just naturally different and naturally like different things, want different things, show different behaviors, why do we have to put so much effort, so much work into separating them? If gender was innate it wouldn't have to be indoctrinated into anyone. Everyone would naturally pick what they want to pick, and every girl would pick the same thing while every boy would pick the opposite. We would never have to tell any little girl or little boy anywhere, “this is not for you, it’s for boys/girls”.

Reminder to Lifters

Lifting Hauls on tumblr with 50 eyeshadow palettes is a fad. It’s a one time picture that makes some people jealous. Big flashy palettes, MK and LV bags are huge flashy things YOU DO NOT NEED.

Remember that you shoplift for yourself. Shoplifting is illegal and looked down on in society, and you do it for yourself. You should only lift things that make you happy, not what will make people jealous of you.

Always go at your own speed. If you want to lift only one lip gloss or one nail polish, that is totally fine. You don’t need 100 nail polish, a closet to rival Kim K’s, every Tarte eyeshadow palette. Lifting is your little secret that you do because you love yourself.

Don’t let yourself get lost.

THE SUSPENSE

[lyftfordays]

hi :) do you have any master posts or know of any for beginners?

Alright here goes. First a key of all the lingo

SA- Sales associateLP/AP- Loss preventionCS- Customer serviceSus- suspiciousBlindspot- a location out of view of cams/sa/and other customersHaul-all your lifted goodiesLift/lifted/lifting- steal/stolen/stealingliftblr- shoplifting tumblrconceal- hide merchandise on your body or with your own belongings with the intent of stealing itRFID- radio frequency identification tags (they make the alarms go off and tell the sa exactly what you stole)

Alright now onto the basics:

START SMALL. I cannot stress this enough honestly. Do not think you have to start out lifting MK purses, NAKED palettes, and other really expensive things. If you feel comfortable starting out with drug store products you go right ahead boo. It’s not a race to see who can get what in the shortest amount of time since starting lifting. I’ve been lifting for 8 or 9 years and I still haven’t gotten an MK purse.

STAY A LITTLE NERVOUS. I’m not saying look mad sus because you look like you’re stealing and checking around every two seconds to make sure no one is even looking your way. Just be nervous enough to pay attention to what’s going on around you.

DO NOT LOOK LIKE YOU’RE AVOIDING SAS. Alright? They can see if you’re TRYING to avoid them and they’ll know what’s up. You don’t want that. So if you see an SA or even LP coming your way smile politely and almost shyly and if they ask if you need any help say “No I’m fine thank you so much though :)))” Politely dismissing them like this will help them to believe you know what you’re looking for.

DON’T LOOK SUS. Don’t wear baggy clothing. Don’t wear clothes that draw attention to you. Don’t have your hair dyed some insane color. Just try to blend in with the people that shop at that store and be FORGETTABLE. You don’t want them to recognize you next time right?

DON’T GO TO A STORE MORE THAN TWICE EVERY TWO WEEKS. Now I’m guilty of not listening to this one heh. Only with stores I know I won’t be really noticed going to more than once or if I go with different people who are buying things.

DO NOT GET GREEDY. I can’t stress this one enough either. Don’t go in with a seemingly empty purse and leave with it about to burst at the seams alright? That’s stupid and just trying to get you caught.

DO NO BE SLOPPY. No concealing on cams, no concealing in front of ANYONE (unless you have a lifting partner, they are the only exception to this. Other than that? NO ONE)

CHECK FOR TAGS ON EVERYTHING. I mean EVERYTHING. Look all over the packaging, open it and check inside it if you can. I’ve done this before. If you do this and an SA asks what you’re doing just say “oh i bought one of these before and the shade in he box was a completely different one than on the outside so I was double-checking it :))” Remember to be polite and smile.

DO NOT GET ANGRY BECAUSE SAS WANT TO HELP YOU. Remember that is their JOB.

KEEP TRACK OF HOW LONG YOU ARE IN A STORE. Try hard to not spend more than 20 minutes in a store. (There are exceptions to this like very large stores where you may or may not see the same SA more than once.)

Alright now for tagsThere’s a post on my blog somewhere covered in info about tags. I’ll link it I just don’t have the link as I write this out.

WHERE TO CONCEALDressing rooms are my favorite place to conceal, but when those are unavailable I’ll shop my way into a blindspot and shop my way back out, concealing while in that blindspot. If someone is in that spot I’ll usually seem to be looking for something until they leave, if they’re there for more than five minutes though seem like you gave up on finding that item and shop your way back out. You can also make your own blind spot with your body by crouching. This doesn’t seem sus if there are things on a bottom shelf or on the floor even. Though if there is a camera at both ends of the aisle make sure you have a partner or display to block one of the cameras and use yourself to block the other one. I will also only conceal on cam using the phone method, place a small product you want in your and put your phone over that and put your phone in your bag and leave it and the product behind in your bag.

NOW ON TO IF YOU SET OFF THE TOWERS WHICH CAN HAPPEN NO MATTER HOW CAREFUL YOU ARE.If you set off the towers, seem busy and keep walking. Nine times out of ten you’ll be okay. I have stepped back and looked like a dear in headlights at the sa and they all just shrugged and waved me out of the door but I would not recommend doing that because it was honestly the most terrifying ten seconds in my entire fucking life I thought I was going to jail right then and there.

I think thats everything if you want to know more please ask.

[lyftfordays]

But this deserves more notes kiddos

[dontpay-deactivated20150809]

Things that will make the lp watch you

Copied from a thread, not mine

Nervousness. Fidgety body movements and looking anxious. Constantly looking from side to side or looking around at other shoppers and employees. Facial expressions of worry, such as wide open eyes, raised eyebrows and crinkled foreheads and gaping mouth. This is usually seen immediately after concealment has already occurred and eye contact is made with the suspect. Releasing nervous tension through exercises such as stretching, cracking knuckles, rotating arms. Walking faster or slower then normal customers. Entering the store and proceeding directly to an area at a brisk pace while eyeballing customers. Walking around the store briskly through aisles while carrying merchandise, attempting to not be seen or followed by associates while concealing the merchandise Refusing assistance from store staff and obviously avoiding contact with others. Asking an associate for directions to an item or department, then proceeding in the opposite direction. Asking an associate unusual questions about merchandise. Removing security tags. Peeling off price stickers. Constantly looking at security cameras. Ducking down and out of employees’ or cameras’ view. Uninterested in shopping. Repeatedly picking up random items with no interest and putting them back. Selecting multiple merchandise at a high rate of speed and not checking prices or sizes. Wandering around store, handling items, lingering here and there, without doing any real shopping. Removing merchandise from one department and depositing it in another, then walking away; creating a depository of merchandise for a later theft. Removing hangers from clothes for no apparent reason. Double hanging clothes. Placing clothing inside of other clothing. Hiding merchandise behind other merchandise. Carrying large seemingly empty purses, bags, or back packs. Placing purse/bag opened in the child seat area of the shopping cart. Large or open purses and shopping bags carried on the arm or shoulder. Handling of bags, backpacks, at the same time glancing around. Carrying a shopping bag from a store that is not in the same shopping center. Carrying items around the store then going into out-of-the-way areas. Constantly walking into a hidden area (Blind Spot) from the view of security. Entering a store empty handed and staring at the Returns desk. Removing a crumpled receipt from their pocket, matching to items on shelf. Suddenly walks quickly to an exit without making a purchase. Opening a wallet and showing cash, in attempt to alleviate suspicion. Wears bulky, heavy clothing during warm weather or coats when unnecessary. Wearing baggy or oversized cloths, hoodies and backpacks. Wearing sunglasses in the store. Caring umbrellas or wearing fake casts. Pushing wheelchairs, and baby strollers. Enters a dressing room or rest rooms with merchandise and then exits with nothing. Repeatedly sends sales staff away by asking for other sizes or colors or distract you with constant chatter. Quickly enter change rooms with a large number of clothes, so staff are not able to check the number of items taken. Backing into a parking space. Leaving the trunk of the car cracked. Leaving another person in the car or at the front of the store. A group entering a store at the same time and then splitting up or come in the same car but enter the store at different times.

Being the OCD person I am, I organized all the tips by store & various topics. I made this as a page yesterday, but the links wouldn’t work, so here’s a post. 

As stated before, this is a role-play blog, & if you attempt any of these, you are doing so at your own risk. Shoplifting is illegal, especially if you’re over 18 (in the US. not sure about other countries) Thanks for playing along! :)

“that would make this way more fun for myself and the 3 other guys here” contrary to popular belief women aren’t your playthings that exist to satisfy your every sexual desire! contrary to popular belief women don’t exist to entertain you! contrary to popular belief women can wear bras and panties without creating jerkoff material for you because it’s just fucking clothing!

i’m only willing to entertain those ideas when i’m being compensated for my time and even then i would never put up with a client with an attitude like lifterdude’s because it is born out of such fucking entitlement and is a sure sign they’d treat me like shit

i’m also like fuming mad about this when probably 4/5 of this community are UNDERAGE girls and if you’ve spent enough time in liftblr to know there are like four guys here then you’ve spent enough time here to know how young this community skews. plus on his blog he posted about “adulting is so hard” so he is obviously AN ADULT

don’t be a fucking creep and delete your blog, lifterdude! and anyone else with that kind of attitude should do the same!

[wouldntitbesweet-blog1]

yeah that was creepy as fuck. don't drag the rest of us "four guys on tumblr who lift" into your nasty pedo predator circle, lifterdude. Most of the girls on here are fucking kids, as adults we should be encouraging them and empowering them and protecting them, not preying on them. fucking nasty

[lifterboy-deactivated20170316]

General consensus is...

that black friday lifting is a no no, but what about monday-wednesday or saturday-sunday? any thoughts?

I’m thinking the day after BF may be a good day to go–thoughts?

[mamahenlifts-blog]

having worked multiple mall jobs during the bf/holiday season, imma tell you something. legally, they are only required to give us a 12 hour turn around from when we walk in the door to when we walk back in. so when i leave at 4 or 6 am, my ass usually has to be back for an evening shift. i’m exhausted, my coworkers are exhausted, we jacked up our hours for bf so now we’re going a little leaner for the next few days. store is a god damn mess.

the day or two post bf are a reeling hell for employees. nobody cares.

but that’s just my experience.

[blueeheroin]

Hi! So I got a few questions about more detail concerning my Lush tips post. Here are four photos of a layout that most lushes will follow. Even small lushes have the deep shelves of the top left picture. While it might seem like little to work with, these are my typical concealing areas.

So if you want to conceal at Lush, the first thing you need is obviously your purse and and a large jacket. The jacket shouldn’t look big and bulky because that’s suspicious if it isn’t cold or wintery, preferably it should be those baggy sweaters from Forever 21 that are really thin material, so it looks normal that you have it. Sling the sweater on your arm first, and then put your purse in front of it. If someone was looking at you from behind, it should look like your sweater is blocking their view of your bag. This is what you want.

When you go into a setting like one of these above, you need to wait until very few people are close to your left or right. You should be standing directly in front of the display. For the top left picture, gather the items you want into an area you can easily reach to. Wait until there are people in your general area so that you blend into a crowd if an SA looks over, but make sure they are turned to something else (preferably when an SA is talking to a group of people about an object away from you. Lean into the shelf to look at something at the back, and with your hand not with the bag on it slip the objects into your bag. The sweater on your arm should cover the view of the product going into your bag, and you should be leaning in so that your hand holding the objects is pressed against the display and concealed by your torso for the split second. Basically in a matter of seconds you lean in, slipping your concealing hand over to your bag, and then reaching out to grab something from the back. Don’t spend more than a few seconds leaning in, when you have the product you were fake reaching for lean back out and spend a good amount of time ogling it before putting it bag. Angle your bag carrying arm and your torso to create a type of triangle up against the display that hides what your hands are doing. Because this looks awkward and obvious, if you do it for more than three or two seconds SAs will notice. It has to be one quick movement. Do this is an area with crowded product so you aren’t holding many objects at a time and you can do this many times. Preferably do this in a corner of a store with your bag arm to the wall so you can tilt your torso towards the wall and you only have to hide your movements from one side. This will work for the middle picture as well if there isn’t anyone at your immediate back.

For the top right picture, you’d need to bag the bath bomb and semi squat to look at the bottom rack while you conceal quickly. I’ve never done this because my bath bomb table is directly in front of the cashier, so cashiers could see me at all angles of the table. I might be able to film a video of me doing this slip for you because it’s hard to verbally talk about it. Basically find any corner in Lush on the opposite wall from the cash register and gather product there. This is why I prefer going on very busy times as people walking around carrying product is a lot less noticeable. If you have a soap table or crowded, highly stacked product table like the bottom picture this will work best to conceal your arms.
