I've mostly been lyft1ng groceries lately so I'm going to share my grocery technique to help anyone who needs it. (this is probably pretty basic and has most likely been shared here before but it works)

small grocery häù1 technique:

you need some reusable bags. personally I use two heavier, more structured ones, and one or two small fabric ones.

you're going to choose one of the thicker reusable bags to store your other bags inside. bend the other thicker one around the inside of that first bag to kind of hollow it out while making it look fuller than it is. then throw in your smaller fabric bags on top so it looks like it's just full of bags. basically just make it look full and position the bags inside it so that the shapes of objects won't show through the sides.

now you're going to head to the store. (i only do this at stores with self checkouts). shop normally, as if you're shopping with your own money. check prices, examine fruit and vegetables before you choose them, etc.

pick up a few things that you need until your hands are full. this is when you're going to put your groceries into your reusable bag. don't try to hide what you're doing, you're just putting things in your bag because your hands are full. tons of people do this, stores don't like it but it's not innately suspicious so long as you've acted like a paying customer (e.g. don't choose the most expensive items you can find and put them in your bag.)

I tend to keep fruits + bread in my hands because they could get crushed in the bag (plus they're cheap), as well as the majority of stuff that I pick up after this point. I usually pay for 4-5 things.

now you're going to proceed to the self-checkout and pay for the things in your hands, use one of your small reusable bags to pack your purchased groceries, and leave. don't pay for anything in your bag.

I've done this for the past month and it's worked every time. i just got $40+ of food for $11 a few days ago. and i learned this trick from someone who's been doing this far longer and it still works for them too.

howdy outlaws, here's a haul. read more for the total.

annoyingly, the people in my area generally do not wear masks, so I would stand out a lot in a full EHMR. I wear neutral colored KN95s, and people dont give me a second glance. They look more 'casual' than the more 'intense' looking masks, but are more protective than those blue surgical ones.

I think 🎯 and most hardware stores sell N95s in small packs that could be l1fted!

Although, it is all about audience. If there is a young girl there, relate with them, and usually they don't give a shit abt what your doing lmao.

Now the older women are what you need to be careful about, as the are almost always on our asses. It does make sense, unfortunately, as they are at that age and working at a retail store, sometimes that job is what they depend on and they cant risk loosing it. I have noticed these kinds of people regularly wear masks, so I follow by wearing one as well... normally gets me some reputation points and respect lmao.

It is a bit hard for me to wear masks still, as I get panic attacks from the sweat created under them, but if you can! WEAR A MASK! GREAT DISGUISE AND RESPECT FROM SOME PEOPLE!

can i stress enough that after you leave you successfully it may be possible for you to still be caught?

safety precautions for all lifters:

Don’t park where cameras can see your license plates. Furthermore, park it between lots of cars. (Great if you have a tiny car… like me… haha)

If you wanna park closer- cover license plate somehow. Fake license plate (be careful, attach at gas station nearby? or in empty parking lot idk) If in cold weather, USE SNOW!! PACK IT ON your license plate after you get out of car. This might just work for me because I’m from a BRRR climate…

Don’t return to places too quickly if it’s obvious SAs know you’re a habitual shoplifter at their location.

Disguises. Don’t be the cool alt-person ever. Straight outta white-straight Pinterest. Neutral clothing, natural-ish hair. Hairdos that cover your face from cameras (Long wispy bangs). Distracting, but not crazy lipsticks (Plums, colors that distract from face). Appear larger, appear smaller with certain clothing. Wear shoes that change your height but not crazy platform boots or stilettos. I love uggs because they’re sturdy and I can stick makeup in them.

Don’t pay with card. Only cash, if you really need to pay. And give them a fake number if they really need it.

Don’t boost things under your legal name. God, please don’t name your mercari/depop/poshmark with your full name in the user. I ran a shoppee and my name was only connected to the Paypal. My packages even said my shop name, no problems experienced.

Stay active on your local crime forums. Facebooks pages for your area may have a photo of you on them already if you haven’t been careful enough. Especially if your hauls were blatant and exceeded a certain threshold.

If SAs look at your license plate, pop the trunk.

When removing security tags, just rehide them on other clothing in the store. Trust me, SAs know you put them on top of the mirrors and under the seats of dressing rooms…

Bag concealing should be done will full knowledge that in the USA it is extremely easy for LP to approach you and accuse of seeing you concealing and search your bag. (Known from my LP friend ((he’s OK with shoplifting… just not at his job where he doesn’t usually prosecute, he just scares haha)))

Understand higher value items have serial numbers. Try not to return them without receipt. Stores may have a database with these serial codes.

I thought it would be useful to babylifters (which I def still am one, but I spend a lot of time on the app/site) or those just new to the community to compile a list of tips and tricks for navigating liftblr. This can be a really good space for finding tips on improving your skill, but it’s really important to be aware of the guidelines and safety precautions, for your sake and the sake of the community.
