Hey, so Iâm super new to lifting & I really want some books from Barnes & nobles. Can anyone give me the run down on how to do so?
super easy!! works best if you go in with a backpack looking like a student (if youâre the right age ofc)
step 1: walk in, look around, pick up a few books (iâd say max of 3, but if you can get away with more, then you do you, but start off small on your first time here). DO NOT go near the medical books. just donât touch them.
step 2: go to the starbucks cafe, buy a coffee and maybe a snack if ur feelin it. i prefer to always pay with cash if i do buy something while iâm lifting, but you can use your best judgement on that one.
step 3: take a seat, drink ur coffee, eat ur snack, text ur friends, check ur tumblr, and all the while be leading through the books you plan to lift. check for rfid tags (esp on hardcovers). try to take ur time and sit there for like an hour. it also help a lot if u brought ur own books and notebooks so you can act and look like ur studying and u can âmix upâ all of those books u have there.
step 4: whenever u feel ready just pack it all up and head out. if u beep or someone mentions that u didnât pay for them just get really embarrassed and apologize and say u got caught up in the book and just forgot. at this point i either gotta pay for it or leave it there. but since someone noticed u didnât pay for it, donât act like u werenât going to in the first place. look through ur wallet and get a disappointed look on ur face and say u left ur credit card at home and uâll have to come back for them another time.
thatâs about it! walk out with all the confidence in the world. maybe wear some ear buds so it looks like ur listening to music so saâs wonât bother you (but donât play music because u want to be able to listen for cues that theyâre onto u.
Not trying to derail your methods, but Iâd like to explain another method to try if thatâs okay?
I always walk around and pick up any books that Iâm interested in and find a blind spot. Kinda hard, but if you sit in between certain shelves the camera doesnât see you. Thatâs impertivive for this method, because you canât worm your way out of it if someone sees you. Itâs more or less risky depending on where your skills are.
Mine are quick concealing and patience.
What ur gonna do is bring all those books to the blind spot and read them. Figure out which ones you want and which ones youâre gonna drop. Now, when you canât see anybody on either side of you, quickly slide the book in ur bag. Keep doing this until youâre satisfied, and then leave. Anyone who saw you only saw you reading books, and by the time your pile is spotted anybody couldâve taken from it. And unlike the cafe method, the cameras wouldnât have seen you concealing.
Both methods work well, but I havenât come across anyone who doesnât use the cafe method so I thought Iâd share mineâ¨
my book store doesnât have a cafĂŠ so thank you for sharing this! v helpful
LP Insight
After my first few weeks as LP, Iâm noticing patterns in who we bust that are disturbing and actually contradict the entire point of having LP.
As you already may know, I was hired as LP for a busy Târget, close to a big city. I personally have acted as plainclothes and have watched cameras.
90% of the people we bust are people lifting under $100 of stuff. We almost never catch the people doing huge grocery walkouts!!!
âď¸ people who do huge walkouts blend in really well with their carts filled to the brink. If they have a big cart and no purse/bag and no sus behavior, they literally look like just about anyone else âď¸
âď¸ They are really not watched by us if their cart is Âź full, theyâre shopping, checking prices, etc. âď¸
âď¸ We have up to 4 LP on a busy afternoon. Our eyes are typically focused towards nervous people WITH LARGE BAGS or those who enter the restroom. We cannot possibly track everyone with a cart!! âď¸
âď¸ However, those with reusable grocery bags are watched!!! Take note!!! LP knows about this trend. Donât do it guys unless the vast majority of people are using them too, like in Whole Foods âď¸
Itâs frustrating because we typically never catch those doing huge walkouts, theyâre hiding in plain sight. Those hauls are easily $300 and upwards, and we will only catch them on camera afterwards. More often than not, we follow sketchy looking people with huge bags and end up busting them with like $100 of stuff.
At my store, LP doesnât watch who passes the registers without paying! It may be because itâs multiple floors?? So multiple exists?
I hope this helps y'all. âď¸ â¤ď¸
So basically use a cart when lifting at target
Iâve been lifting from T almost weekly for three yearsâŚa lot of this confirmed my suspicions đ
Yes. Still active LP. Since this post we have caught one woman doing a walkout, but this is because she got groceries AND electronics. AKA a big red flag.
LP is very very focused on electronics. SAâs must say into the walkie that âperson x just bought an iPhone, tv, etc. And will be exiting the buildingâ bc every person with electronics in their hand must be accounted for.
Anyone getting groceries and stopping for high ticket electronics is an instant red flag. Remember, electronics at targèt is HEAVILY MONITORED.
She looked nervous, had tons of groceries, and then decided to stop by the electronics department. She put in a middle priced camera and a few storage chips. Very sus. Like who shops for groceries then suddenly thinks âoh I must get me a $300 camera and some storage chips! Golly ! Gosh! Almost forgot that right along with the butterâ
Anyway, we had plainclothes set up by the exits bc we suspected sheâd bolt.
Sure enough, she did! She got taken to the back and we assessed her cart as containing $650. Felony level.
had 2 many notes but i still wanted good luck ;o
From someone who works retail...
Sales associates taking clothes into fitting rooms:
If we ask to take ur clothes into the fitting room ALWAYS say yes the first time and donât hide anything in them (aka double hanging) bc then weâll be sus
Just let us take that first group of clothes, bc if we ask you a second time just say smth like âno Iâm still deciding if I want theseâ
Letting us take the first group of clothes,even if itâs a small number, puts so much more trust into you from an employees pov
From there you can grab just a shit ton of clothes (not a crazy amount but you get it) and just go into ur room. From there since you have quite a few clothes to âtry onâ they wonât bother you rly.
Taking off tags in a quiet store:
If you find yourself in a dead silent store or a store that has quieter music in fitting rooms (most stores do this so we can hear you removing tags) either ft a lifting friend who is outside and do random âdo you like thisâ or âdoes this make me look paleâ talk or record yourself talking and edit it so your voice is a little deeper and also edit the FaceTime connecting sound to make it more believable.
All SA HATE when people are talking on the phone so find that sweet spot of being just annoying to make them walk away and loud enough that you canât hear the pop of the tags <3

MASTER LIST OF STORES AND EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
Adidas: Difficult to shoplift from. Cameras arenât usually monitored, but staff are dedicated and can make a commission. They are usually inclined to try to stop theft. Tagging is frequent and efficient at Adidas stores.
Aeropostale: (going out of business) Cameras are few and far between. Cameras are never actively monitored, and most exist only to stop ORC/internal theft. Aero doesnât chase and doesnât prosecute. Their staff has little LP training and has no employees dedicated to LP. Staff usually donât count dressing room items and donât do much about even obvious lifting (other than calling mall security). Very easy.
Abercrombie & Fitch: Cameras arenât actively monitored. Only LP is regular staff, but usually, only store managers call police or mall security. Staff sometimes counts fitting room items. A&F has a strict policy not to chase lifters, but they will call police or mall security. Often times they wonât press charges and will just ask for merchandise to be returned. Fairly easy.
American Eagle: Wonât chase, and cameras arenât actively monitored. Staff usually count fitting room items, and fitting rooms are locked until you request one. They will prosecute if caught, but the only LP measures they take are calling police or mall security. Fairly easy.
Armani: Has a small staff-customer ratio, and lifting is almost impossible. Cameras are actively monitored, and staff follows customers around almost ubiquitously (just so they donât have to search for a salesperson when they have a question or need help with something). Near impossible.
Banana Republic: Hardest of all the GAP Inc. stores. Has staff who is generally dedicated, and who will usually monitor cameras. Tagging is frequent so be careful and only conceal in dressing rooms. Will often chase, prosecute, and ban. They usually call police and mall security.
Barnes & Noble: Uses RFID tags on products over $40, all electronics, most manga, and most hardcover books. Cameras are not actively monitored but will be checked after a theft has occurred. Store managers are the only ones who have the authority to call the police. Store managers are the only staff who can trail shoplifters, but they will give aggressive customer service if they suspect you. They wonât chase you, and will simply call to you from the door and ask you to come back inside. If you refuse, they will try to get your license plate number. Gifts, journals, trinkets, moleskins, paper blanks and art supplies are never tagged. If youâre being followed, staff will back off every few minutes to allow you to dump the merchandise. Try to conceal in the kidâs section, as there are no cameras usually. Very easy store, but not for beginners.
Bath & Body Works: No LP and cameras arenât actively monitored. The stores are small and have many employees mostly concentrated at the counters except for a greeter who helps customers with questions. They donât prosecute, but they call mall security and will let them determine if police will be called. This is a store only good for small lifts, and then leaving quickly.
Bed, Bath, and Beyond: Stores vary. While cameras are usually monitored, and LP exists regionally, tall shelves and big displays make concealment much easier. Will chase, prosecute, and ban.
Best Buy: One of the most dangerous stores for a shoplifter. Has actively monitored PTZ cameras, and a stationary guard at all exits who monitors cameras and checks all receipts. They will call police immediately and will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. Staff can follow you into the restroom. Almost impossible.
Bloomingdales: Actively monitored PTZ cameras. Staffed with a team of LP professionals, and most staff has basic LP training. They will chase, prosecute, fine, and ban. Quite hard.
Books-a-million: They have very good cameras, but they arenât actively monitored, and they usually donât record. Employees are few and far between, and at some locations, the door alarms are fake. Most books arenât tagged, regardless of price. BAM usually has expensive autographed copies of books that can be resold at a larger profit. (This is my personal favorite store).
Burlington Coat Factory: Cameras are usually actively monitored. Wonât usually chase, but there are no specific policies. Will always call police, and will usually ban or ask you to leave even if you pass the POS with unpaid merchandise.
Carsonâs: Cameras are actively monitored. LP rotate regionally, but have been cut back since the sale of Carsonâs to the Proffitt Holding Group. Most stores outside of Illinois donât tag many items, except for designer handbags and other items over a couple hundred bucks. Staff will call police even if someone is thought to be concealing merchandise. Fairly difficult.
Chanel: Staff is very dedicated and classy. One employee is always looking at cameras. While it is one of the easier designer stores, it is still extremely risky. Your best bet is a grab and run.
COACH: Same as Armani.
Costco: Receipt-checkers make theft hard. If they see you stealing they will call police and prosecute. As it is a membership-only store, they have all of your information in the central computer system. Donât lift from Costco.
CVS: Cameras are usually non-actively monitored. LP rotates regionally, usually working two, 8-hour shifts per week at specific stores (especially when large thefts are discovered). CVS is usually bad a tagging merchandise that Corporate would want tagged. Regular staff wonât chase, but LP can confront you in store, but they will only try to get your license plate. Medium range difficulty.
Dickâs Sporting Goods: While they employee LP and actively monitor cameras in most locations, LP is poor and there are may easy blind spots to conceal in. Only security is concentrated near the firearms section (for âsafety reasonsâ). LP usually wonât chase, but they sometimes break company policy. Police will almost always be called once a lifter leaves the store. Medium difficulty.
Dillardâs: Cameras are monitored actively, and a few LP are usually working. They donât typically employ plainclothes AP/LP, but treat all customers as potential LP. Dillardâs will chase, ban, and prosecute. When a large lift is attempted, LP will not hesitate to physically detain lifters.
Dollar General: No LP, and staff is usually older. Strict no chase policies are in place, and cameras are not actively monitored. Easy.
Dollar Tree: Oftentimes, the cameras are fake. Few employees are usually in store. DT doesnât want to waste money on security or LP because their products are cheap. Basically a free-for-all. Beginner-level store.
Family Dollar: Sometimes they donât even have cameras. At most they will have four employees in the store, but they usually only have one or two. Extremely easy as long as you watch over your shoulders.
Five and Below: Among the easiest stores. Staff mostly remain at the counter unless they are stocking items. They will call police after a lifter has left the store. Cameras are few if any, and arenât actively monitored. Five and Below only really cares about ORC and internal theft, but employs no LP. Staff donât care to stop obvious lifters, and will usually just attempt to get a license plate number, or picture of them.
Finish Line/Footlocker: Both donât monitor cameras except ones in the back (to prevent ORC). Staff wonât chase, but they will ban, prosecute, and try to get a license plate number or picture of the suspect. LP is regional, and is usually called in after thefts.
Food Lion: Generally an easy store. At matt locations, the check-out lanes âblockâ the exits which makes the possibility of being spotted greater. Cameras tend to be monitored (especially when big shipments are coming in). LP is nonexistent, and it is up to managers to stop you. Food Lion will ban, and sometimes prosecute. Police are almost always called.
Gamestop: Usually they only have one or two non monitored, non-recording cameras. Employee(s) will usually remain at the counter or on the sales floor, so theft or concealment is difficult. Higher end electronics are kept in locked cabinets. Efforts to lift from Gamestop are usually futile.
GAP: Easier than Banana Republic. Cameras are usually not monitored, but are well placed. Cashier desk is far from the main door. Door alarms are ubiquitous in use. LP situation unknown. Be cautious and donât conceal on the floor unless the item is small.
GNC: Wonât chase. No LP. Doesnât actively monitor cameras (cameras are very few). Regional managers are usually concerned with and tasked with tackling internal theft. Employees will at most try to get a license plate, and they may ban you if they see you conceal in store.
Gucci: Good LP and PTZ cameras. They wonât hesitate to tackle you and do anything to retrieve merchandise.
H&M: Frequently uses plainclothes in US stores. Cameras are sometimes actively monitored. LP at H&M is fairly good for a small store. Will usually call mall security if they think someone is stealing.
Hobby Lobby: Fairly easy, but still the hardest craft store. They do employ limited LP who will try to apprehend shoplifters once they pass the POS. Often they will ask for the merchandise back and just ban you. Police are called if any employee or customer is physically injured or if threats are made. In that case, they will prosecute.
Hollister: Cameras arenât monitored, and there is no LP. Many stores have door alarms as a deterrent, because they are too far away to be seen or possibly heard at the cashier desk. Hollister will call mall security. They wonât chase, but they will ask for merchandise back or issue a Civil Demand, and they will ban permanently.
Home Depot: While they actively monitor cameras and employ LP, Home Depot LP is usually ineffective at stopping small theft because they have such a large store to cover, which has extremely expensive items spread throughout.
Hot Topic: Difficulty of HT stores varies wildly. Most donât have cameras, but some have one near the front desk. In either case, the cameras arenât monitored unless a robbery or major theft has occurred. There is no LP, but regional managers can be called in if a large theft has occurred. Staff shouldnât chase you, but store managers have been known to break this policy in an attempt to get pictures or license plate numbers. They will usually call mall security, but not police. Staff usually follow and pester suspected lifters, and they will pretend to straighten displays new you. Their main technique is to offer you something that matches what they think youâve concealed (this is to intimidate you into dumping the merchandise). Be careful.
Jo-Ann Fabrics: Very easy store. Many displays near the store entrance make it easy to conceal and leave quickly. There is no LP, but if they see you conceal, they will customer service you to death. Police might be called. Managers can try to call you back into the store, but wonât chase further than the sidewalk. Signs stating âShoplifters will be prosecutedâ are deterrents that make up for a lack of LP or security monitoring. Cameras around these signs are fake, and all Jo-Ann cameras have a blindspot within a 5 feet cone of the camera.
JC Penny: Lax LP as far as most department stores go. LP is employed and they actively monitor cameras. Plainclothes are used in high shrink stores.
King Superâs: Extremely good LP, who ESPECIALLY HEAVILY monitor the alcohol. Cameras are always actively monitored. KS LP will go to extreme lengths to apprehend lifters. Police are always called after concealment, or in the event of assault of a staff member.
K-Mart: Surprisingly decent LP who sometimes actively monitor cameras. Cameras donât always record. They will always chase you, but wonât get physical unless you touch them or try to flee.
Kohlâs: Not too hard to lift from if you conceal in the dressing rooms and leave quickly. Plainclothes are common, and LP is good at making fitting room stops. Never try to return stolen goods to Kohlâs, because they try to flag the serial numbers of stolen merchandise. LP will enter the fitting room cubicle next to a suspected lifter, and will listen for any suspicious noises. Door alarms are very sensitive, so be careful. Company policy encourages LP not to make stops based ONLY on a door alarm being triggered. Issues large Civil Demands, and will report these to collection agencies. Kohlâs, however, cannot enforce a Civil Demand.
Kroger: Decent LP, who often pose as shelf stockers, and will trail people who conceal merchandise. Kroger tends to case-build on known lifters. Cameras are monitored most of the time, but are sometimes turned off around closing time.One of the harder grocery stores.
Lord and Taylor: Employees are encouraged to chase and are given incentives for preventing shoplifting. L&T usually will issue a large civil demand and f**k up your credit score in the process, but they will prosecute if it is an exceptionally large theft, or if people are hurt or threatened. Be cautious.
Lowes: Similar to Home Depot, but with less LP. Cameras are usually monitored, especially over the board cutting and cord cutting areas. This is to protect them from lawsuits if someone injures themselves.
Lush: Lush is usually busy which can be either a help or a hindrance to lifters. There are no tags or door alarms, and the front desk is often far ways from the door. There is usually one or two chasers and at least one employee giving demonstrations on the sales floor. Iâm not sure about the camera situation, but I know if caught they will ban you, but wonât usually even try to get the products back because the bath bombs and such probably canât be resold after having left the store. (information requested by /u/slkondak)
Macyâs: Quite hard. Often has large teams of LP in store ranging in size from two to as many as ten. Company policy demands that LP follow the 5 steps to make an apprehension. Cameras are fairly good, and are always being monitored. Head LP managers have access to store cameras even off duty, and will call police if alarms are triggered after closing time. Always chases (incentives are given to employees), and sometimes they prosecute, and sometimes they issue civil demands - no policy determines which they do.
Martinâs (closing): Not to hard. They have considerably less LP and general anti theft measures that Kroger. Cameras are almost always actively monitored because Martinâs has large management teams at every store.
Meijers: Will chase. Usually they wonât employ dedicated LP, but they will have someone monitoring cameras most of the time.
Mervyns: Dangerous store that will chase, ban, and prosecute. Cameras are always monitored.
Michaelâs: Beginner level store. At more urban stores, expensive art pencils and markers are locked up, but many stores donât bother. Spray paint is always locked up. Cameras arenât monitored unless to investigate ORC. Employees are located at the framing counter which is near the main offices, so keep that in mind. Blind spots are numerous. Easy as pie.
Michael Korâs: Probably the easiest designer boutique. Staff is very dedicated, and treats customers well. If they think you may be lifting, they wonât hesitate to call police and or mall security and stall you until they arrive. Not many bags are usually on display, so theft is noticed extremely quickly. If you must lift from there (they do have BEAUTIFUL bags and wallets) get in and get out.
Nike: Usually strict about theft. Cameras are few, but store managers sometimes monitor them. Tagging is frequent. They might chase, but will try to get a license plate number and will always call police.
Nordstrom: Dangerous, but not impossible. They have dedicated LP, and regular staff get bonuses for reporting shoplifters. They will chase you usually, but will usually have police waiting. Nordstrom case builds for shoplifting, so donât return to the same store planning to lift. Cameras are numerous and are actively monitored. Glass cases containing designer wallets and things are usually able to be opened and only appear locked. Staff wonât confront you for opening the case (according to my cousin who has worked there for 9 months). Be careful.
Office Depot/Max: Very very easy. A personal favorite of mine. They almost never monitor cameras. Employees there are worked to death and really donât care. If a door alarm sounds, keep walking. They canât confront you just based on a door alarm beeping. No LP, and management only cares about internal theft. The cleaning supplies aisle is usually the best blindspot. Some items are spider wrapped. Many things have an RFID tag in them such as headphones, and fine writing pens. These tags are always stuck to the inside of the box. Itâs easy to tell, because the box will have been resealed with scotch tape. Side note: Office Max vastly overprices post-it notes, so please steal those <3
Old Navy: Easiest of all the GAP Inc. Stores. Staff usually doesnât care, and most are not on the sales floor. Dressing rooms are usually messy which makes it easy to conceal. Stealing shoes from Old Navy is easier because there are no shoe boxes. LP exists regionally in urban areas. Cameras are usually actively monitored. Will generally chase, ban, and call police.
Pet-Co: Cameras are usually only located near the front of the store. No LP, and cameras arenât actively monitored. Management only cares about preventing internal theft because pet stores generally have low shrinkage. Employees wonât chase, and many wonât even call police.
PetSmart: Generally the same as Pet-Co. PetSmart holds a lot of dog training classes, so these are good times to lift. Cameras are sometimes reviewed at the end of the day (per company policy) but this rarely happens, especially in small stores.
Rite Aid: âLittle to no lp unless it becomes a major problem such as repeated lifts of alcohol or electronics. Most cameras are fake. Not actively monitored. Poorly trained staff amd managers. Store policy is not to stop suspected lifters but it varies store to store. My moms old manager was a hard ass and tacked more than one person with no repercussions. He has since retired and her new manager has a no confrontation policy. They will however build a case. They got one lady who had been stealing wine bottles for 3 months. They call police and will take further legal action. Multiple blind spots even if cameras are active.if you spot the manager out of the office99% of the time that means nobody is watching cameras. And even if the manager is in the office they are usually overworked and underpayed so its no issue usually.â
Ross: Medium difficulty. They have limited LP, but cameras are usually monitored by one employee with radio contact to the managers. They will often simply ban shoplifters, and wonât call police if they get their merchandise back.
Safeway: Can be one of the more difficult grocery stores. Cameras are of decent quality, and are usually being watched. If electricity to the store is cut, the cameras will continue to record using a separate backup generator. LP is regional and rotates around stores with high shrinkage. Most stores in wealthier areas can go several months without a visit from district LP.
Samâs Club: Same as Costco, but a little easier. They can be fairly easy to lift from if you conceal well and move fast. If youâre not obviously carrying anything, the receipt checker will let you pass.
Sears: Sears has cut back on LP, but still has LP agents in almost every store. LP that is there is highly trained. Sears will sometimes âbaitâ people into lifting. Some stores don;t have tower alarms. Cameras are always monitored. Sears will chase, and usually prosecute, but might issue a Civil Demand if you cooperate with their LP.
Sephora: Dangerous. Has very good LP and PTZ cameras. They will always have at least 2 or 3 agents in the store, not including plainclothes. They will chase, call police, and issue civil demands. If employees or customers are hurt, threatened, or if excessive amounts are stolen, they will prosecute. Civil Demand notices come with 1-2 year trespass orders (this applies to all Sephoraâs except those in JCP or Macyâs).
Sheetz: One of the easier convenience stores to lift from. Cameras exist, but are generally not being monitored, except in the aftermath of large thefts or robberies. There are always at least two or three employees behind the counter. Most stocking is done late at night or after closing, so employees usually stay behind the counter unless theyâre cleaning a machine. They wonât call police unless thereâs a robbery. If an employee sees you shoplifting, oftentimes they tell you just to never come back. Quite easy.
Spencerâs: Difficulty varies. Most stores have decent low hanging cameras, but they arenât usually being watched. They use a lot of ink tags on clothing items. Spencerâs keeps most expensive items such as sex toys in the back of the store, or on high shelves where you need to get employee assistance to reach. When lifting at Spencerâs, have an idea of what you want, and get in and out in under 10 minutes.
Staples: Very easy. Older stores have very wide aisles, and mostly fake cameras. Newer stores have shorter, narrower aisles and have real cameras. There are almost never any employees looking at cameras, and there are no real LP efforts to speak of. Employees will congregate near the main door if they see someone concealing, and they might follow at a distance. If you see two or more employees standing directly at the door, DUMP THE GOODS, and leave.
Stop & Shop: Surprisingly a difficult store. They use decent LP, and lots of decent quality cameras that are constantly monitored. They will almost always prosecute and rarely issue Civil Demand notices. Chase policy depends on the store, but they usually will chase or apprehend past the POS.
Sunglass Hut: No LP, and cameras arenât actively monitored in mall stores. Glasses are almost all tagged, and employees are told not to leave customers alone in the store with merchandise. Regional managers will often investigate ORC and noticeable shrinkage reported in inventory.
Target: Notoriously hard. Cameras are extremely numerous and are very high quality. Some can PTZ. LP are extremely dedicated, and regular staff are given bonuses or incentives for reporting shoplifting to LP. Target will always chase, call police, ban, or rarely issue a Civil Demand notice. Donât lift from Target. They will basically take what you stole and shove it up your ass. Also, Target case builds and shares known lifter info with other stores, so they can get you up to a felony amount before contacting police.
Things Remembered: Laughably easy. Most stores lack security cameras and those with them are never monitored. The large engraving station is in the back, so if your location has cameras, assume someone is near them. Staff donât usually care and will stay at the desk. No LP at all. Mostly the company cares about preventing ORC. Concealing is easy as long as youâre in a blind spot from the cashier desk. Their items are expensive and are never tagged. Have fun.
Toys R Us: Store management may act as LP, and cameras are sometimes actively monitored. Company policy is to not detain parents who are with children under 8. (Regardless of if the child or parent is the lifter). They will usually call police, and may prosecute if they canât get their stuff back. No specific LP personnel.
Tuesday Morning: Doesnât chase, will prosecute, and will ban. Always calls police. There are no dedicated LP, but the company likes to hire former LP from other stores as managers in their stores.
Ulta: Difficulty varies. Stores in malls are usually harder because they often request their storefront to be near the mall security office. Freestanding stores are easier, but staff with call police, and usually issue a Civil Demand but sometimes prosecute. Cameras are PTZ and are almost always monitored. Many items are tagged.
Vans: Staff are usually pretty dedicated, and will offer aggressive customer service to suspected lifters. Vans usually calls mall security, and lets them determine whether or not to call police. Cameras are usually in most stores, but are monitored after a theft is noticed.
Virginia Diner Shoppe: Like taking candy from a baby. Large shelves and fairly expensive products make this a nice place to snatch some gifts for the ladies in your life.
Walmart: Poor LP, whose budget and resources have been slashed in recent years. LP efficiency can range from store to store, but it is often easier to lift from Walmarts in higher income areas. Walmart will almost always chase, and will often prosecute. Company policy is not to prosecute under $25, but this is usually left up to the store or district manager. Staff sometimes, but rarely act as LP. Cameras are always actively monitored, but camera quality isnât the best, and a cone blindspot exists directly under most cameras because they canât tilt.
Walgreens: Wonât chase, but will prosecute. No employees are dedicated solely to LP/AP, but store managers can act as LP at their own discretion. Employees are encouraged to try to get plate numbers by looking through windows. Police can be called after the fact. Cameras arenât usually monitored, but the employee break area is near the cameras, and the manager can access the camera feed through his computer (at newer locations).
Wawa: These stores have some exits away from the cashiers desk, which makes them easier to steal from. Cameras are sometimes monitored, but when the store is busy, they usually arenât being watched. Cashiers may yell to lifters who have left the store, and will sometimes try for a license plate number. Oftentimes they will leave cartons of cigarettes out on top of the checkout desks. Good place to try to lift smokes, for those of you who use tobacco!
Wegmanâs: Easiest grocery store. Despite being a MASSIVE store, cameras are few. Many employees work in the store, but are often too busy to even help regular customers. Someone is always watching the cameras, but the only LP that is always used is managers doing sweeps of the store, or near suspected lifters. Exiting through the market cafe is best, but watch out for employees coming in and out of the catering office. Wegmanâs wonât chase (usually), but may call police, and will ban. Wegmanâs does a lot of charity work, and if caught, you can sometimes get away by apologizing profusely, and saying youâre hungry and are having trouble feeding your family. They almost always will give you a few small food items and some coupons and let you leave.
Zumiez: Typically doesnât have cameras, and they are never being monitored. There is usually an employee near the skate stuff near the back room, so pay attention to where they are and where they go. Sales counters are usually far from the door, so you will have extra time to get away if someone notices you. Most hats are tagged, and certain stores will tag shirts, pants, or Herschel bags. Staff wonât chase, and are slow in calling mall security. No LP, except regional managers who will pop in occasionally, or whom are called in. Staff are generally friendly, but are too busy texting and kicking around, so they wonât do much if they suspect you of lifting. Theyâre supposed to wait until youâve left the store, and then they will send your description to security.
7-Eleven: Small stores, usually with a few employees. Cameras arenât being monitored, but the highest ranking employee in the store has access to them. If youâre sealing alcohol they will usually phone the police. They may try to get your license plate number, but they generally wonât do much unless youâre causing a disturbance.
**Please note that individual stores are different. There are many differences between mall stores and freestanding stores. Company policy can be broken, and many times it is. LPâs job is to prevent theft, and they are usually very adamant at doing so.**

Needs more reblogsđŻđđ˝đ
the urge to lĂŻft and donate the goods to charity is so strong
If you have a NICU near you, DO IT. There is a desperate need for preemie clothes and diapers, the pandemic has sent premature births skyrocketing.
Homeless shelters need socks and underwear, all sizes. Good, comfy ones that will last forever.
Womenâs and DV shelters need tampons, pads, soaps, perfumes and makeups for treats.
Foster homes and other child advocation agencies need duffel bags and suitcases, toys, stuffed animals and blankets.
Libraries need books, media, snacks for the librarians.
Someone dear to you needs flowers, chocolates, a sweet card.
hoodie method
i made this and thought of this myself, good luck if u decide to use it!
you basically jus pull ur hoodie inside out and stick it inside a pillow case with the arms and hood sticking out n safety pin the edges onto the hoodie. it helps if u put smth inside while ur doing it.
when u turn it right side out, it looks completely normal on the outside. then you can c0nceal stuff through the hood.
happy l!ft!ng :)
old post, saw a lot of ppl like it so im reblogging
TIPS AS SOMEONE WHO HAS WORKED RETAIL at an unnamed store for, obvious reasons.
(Think either @merican 33agle, G@rrage, teen clothing store with micd up employees)
-the mall i worked at was literal shit, like its the biggest mall in our area but the mall security is terrible lmao. wed call them for a lifter and theyâd take a good 30 mins, by the time they come the lifter is long gone. but thatâs different with every mall and dont rely on that.
-most of the time if we have early morning teen shoppers my managers on comms would tell me to keep an eye on them if i was working front of store, they know teens like their sleep
-stores sometimes have a codeword if youâre on mic for a shoplifter, if u hear some word out of the ordinary being mentioned by an employee thatâs glaring at you, drop your shit and go. run the fuck outta there
-eg âa pineapple in womens clearance is scoping out the tank topsâ
-âapple heading towards fitting roomsâ
-again with the point above, if you suddenly see like 3 employees simultaneously look at u its most likely that u were mentioned on comms. my store was terrible at it because we were all nosey lol. sometimes it isnt lifting related like âooo i like her bag â or âi love the lady in mens clearanceâs hairâ.
-with some stores if you beep and u dont have a bag from our store we arenât actually required + its not advised to check ur bags. so many people beeped at my store when i was working there but my managers would wave them off because they had bags from other stores. especially z@ra. z@ra was notorious at our mall for never detagging their items lol.
-if u plan on detagging in fitting rooms be wary of whoâs running it. if its a teen they probably dont give a flying fuck about whos coming in, sometimes my coworkers would just wave people in and put an estimate of items on their door just to keep the line moving. if it looks like someone knows how to do their job is running fitting rooms be very wary. they may check in on customers in fitting rooms.
-donât spend over 10 mins in fitting rooms. maybe if you brought 20 items in thatâd make sense but then again managers would flag that as suspicious. i know some stores have lifted their max amount of items allowed in but ideally only bring in 5-6 at a time. if a customerâs taking 20 mins in there we usually would have to check in on them and attempt to get some rejected clothing items from them, and if they arenât cooperating i had to call a manager over
-donât be mean but dont be overly nice and chatty. if youâre super mean weâll talk shit about u on comms đ and if youâre overly nice weâll compliment u over comms which leads people to look in ur direction.
-be easy to forget in every store ur in. wear whatâs trendy & solid colours. i canât count the amount of girls that would come in w a tank top, zip hoodie and flare jeans/leggings. thatâs pretty much the trend atm and u are like a needle in a haystack.
-donât look super alternative. i love u emo bitches but when u come into an 0ld n@avy for example u stick out!!! đđ it just makes the security description way easier for us too. one time my manager called mall security about a brown haired girl in sweatpants and a black mask and security brought in the wrong damn girl! i felt so bad.
thatâs it for now loves lmk if u have any other questionsâŚ
This is very good stuff.
lifting from target is so fking scary
i be like âtarget haul!â and itâs two pairs of earrings
