2 years into lifting: Eh, I can pass on this

Lifting or not, people get stopped. You’ve probably been stopped before and never thought anything of it. If you get stopped and questioned, act just like you would if you hadn’t lifted a day in your life. Being polite, while feigning "offended" or "confused" is the easiest way to go. Alternatively, you could be b*tch about being hassled but that may not work for you personally or could be perceived as defensive (making it harder to backpeddle.) Find what works for you. Ultimately though in that moment, you are completely innocent by anyone's standards.

Stores that are “hands off” can’t physically stop you and be within policy. Any employee that isn't LP shouldn't be doing anything remotely close to stopping customers. When they do, deal either one of 2 ways; Either hold a receipt and project the impression of complying with their requests by giving them a closed mouth smile and nod while keeping pace, when they want to check a receipt or bags or something else, just act like its exactly what you’d if you weren’t lifting. Otherwise, walk briskly, showing no receipt, and shoot them a bothered look as if to say their accosting you is rude as is their desire to needlessly waste your time. Legally, SA’s and LP CAN NOT physically prevent you from leaving. They aren’t police, they can’t detain you.

If LP is stopping you, they're stopping you for a reason, so there's no point playing polite. When they stop you, they're either formally accusing you of shoplifting or they’re not. Call them out point-blank and ask "Are you accusing me of something?" Look them in the eye, press them for an answer, and don't let them skirt around it. Say "no" to any and all other requests. If they don't give you a straight answer & evade the question with something like "if you let us see your receipt we can clear this up", don't waste time. Say "no thanks" and walk away. If they touch you, treat it as assault . If they’re accusing of lifting, ask them for the details of what they're accusing you of having lifted, or tell them to call the police and WALK THE FUCK AWAY. If they're going to tackle you, they're going to tackle you, nothing you do will change that. Better them getting an assault charge than you getting a theft charge.

the “i heard charløtte rússe was going out of business, so i drove thirty minutes out of town to lift from a second mall this week” haul

just like my most recent haul, I bought a few things, but lifted the majority of it. I just like to have shopping bags on me for extra lifting storage and also look less sus

so today I bought $14 worth of items ($4 black shirt, $10 boots) and walked out with $441.26 worth of clothes, scrunchies, jewlery, and perfume (including a michæl kórs coat and cardamøm cøffee by lúsh)

This oversized sweater and spanx top:

I can body conceal shoes, bunch of shirts, a bulky sweater, and like 5 jeans with no bulging. And I still look trendy and fashionable.

I haven’t tried a huge haul with this outfit yet but I’m excited. Also if you’re wondering how i conceal my magnet, I wear these padded butt lifting shorts and hide it there.

Also, my magnet is from amazon. It’s as strong as a golf detacher if you get 4 of them. I have two and they used to work on those strong h&m tags but becareful cause they break easily

You’re welcome✌️

I wanted to get/probably could have gotten another pair but I felt like I shouldn’t get greedy bc I haven’t lifted from that store in a while and a few SA’s were wandering around my blindspot organizing shoes. I just de-tagged and popped them in my purse and peaced out ✌️. I’ll probs go back for another pair in a few weeks.

grand total: 9 + 5 + 5 + 4 = 23 small items

would i recommend actually concealing this many items in this way ? absolutely not. my intention here is to demonstrate just how many places there are on body to conceal (this doesn’t even include all of them!) and how compact & natural you can make it look.

a complete post on body packing is coming soon, but i thought this would be a nice little prelude :)

peach saw it first 😊

the haul that gave me a panic attack because i thought i left my wallet that contained $100 cash in a dressing room i’d concealed in but it was actually in my car the entire time:)))))))

I just read some articles on some new technology some stores are using to track people in their store and across entire malls. I could get into technicalities, but the baseline of it is that stores are using your phone’s wifi pings to get information about your searches, personal info, and most alarmingly, an address specific to your phone. This system is not only able to accurately track where you are in the store live, but is also able to tell if you’ve visted the store before, how often, how long ago, and which areas you’ve visited most often.

This system of tracking is not only an exposure of privacy for shoppers, but also dangerous for lifters. The solution most people reccommend in response is to completely disable wifi, though I would personally take it safe and just turn on airplane mode while I lift. The idea of being so precisely tracked is scary, and luckily only a few stores, mostly high end like Marks and Spencers, but also casual places like Topshop have this tracking system so far.

“Wifi pings” aren’t real. The PING function on a device verifies that a particular IP address is online. Nothing more. It gives away no location or any other data.

IP addresses are indeed specific to your phone, but are renewed regularly and can be easily hidden with a VPN. Seriously. It’s not that hard.

Stores dont have the cybersecurity resources to do most of what you’re saying. Take it from me, folks. I’ve worked at several cybersecurity firms that didn’t even have this supposed level of resources. You cant track people that easily, unless you own services the person uses. The only way a store can track you like this is if they partner with Google to get your location (via Google maps’s location services) or if you download a store’s app and it has access to your location. Otherwise they cant really get it, at least not easily! Just dont be stupid online and nothing is going to happen. Also, dont connect to a stores wifi. They can get info from you that way too.
