the setting: world market

subject: me, a couchless 20 year old 

victim: dumb ass gullible SA who was a teen and probably high

this took a lot of planning. lots of phone calls. scanning website as to what I want. finding out manager’s name… email… phone… etc

*walks in*

Hi there! I spoke to ___ (manager) about the ___ (model name) couch. 

*shows SA email that I made up that is identical to manager’s email but instead of i it was L*

Email thread went something the lines of 

“Hi I am interested in couch blahbah heres my credit card info”

“ Hi random customer *this doesnt seem fake at all* I will run this through and send you an online receipt”

*shows SA online receipt that I made that was horribly photoshopped*

“yeah so I already spoke to ___ about the couch and she said it would be ready when I got here and I dont have a lot of time could you please help me with it?”

I literally got the DA to put the couch on a rolly thing and bring it to my truck 

I tipped her $10

It’s a hugely important thing to take a break from lifting, if possible. If you’re lifting to survive, then not being able to lay off is understandable.

But when you are able, chill out for a while. A break now will further your lifting abilities in the long run. It gives you a chance to truly shop as a normal person. You can build a rapport with the sales staff. Building rapport and trust is invaluable if you live in a smallish city whose stores tend to have employees who have been there for years and know your face and even your name. If you become a trusted regular, your chances of being watched and suspected go way, WAY down.

Another advantage of taking a break is being able to regroup yourself. Some of us get to the point where we lift without even thinking about it. This leads to sloppiness and errors, just shoving crap in our bags without even checking for tags or cameras, etc. Not good.

Just in case some don’t, it has security details on most stores, including camera info and tagging frequency. I always read this over for the stores I’m gonna hit just in case :)

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.

finally the last of christmas shopping, thank god. 

went a bit crazy today lmfao

!! disclaimer: these are what have worked for me, i say try this after a little bit of lifting experience !!

☁️ okay so, here are some tiny rules for this (and in general for lifting): ☁️

🌱 don’t get greedy

- if they see you carrying a whole bunch of books around the store, they’ll keep their eye on you. stores want to make their daily goal and depending on the location, the b&n may have more attentative employees.

🌱 grab some books you may not want

- this is best if you conceal on the floor instead of the cafe, because they might see you w/ like 4 books but suddenly 0? have like 2 you’re not gonna get and put them back where they belong and leave.

🌱 check for tags

- from the tips ive received any book that is above $40 dollars, is hardcover, or in the medical section, all have rfid tags embedded in them. do not attempt!!! for paperbacks, “read” through them. you might find a rfid sticker in there, just peel it out. you’ll find these more in manga, but always check!!

☁️ now time for blindspot and concealing tips!!: ☁️

🌱 b&n cafe

- in my opinion the best place to conceal is inside the b&n cafe, you find a table not too close to the cafe register and place your bag and books on the table. then what i do is take out my wallet (leave my bag open), head to the register and order some food, a snack, or a drink. get my receipt and go back to my table. i then put my wallet on one of the books, hold it together and put it in my purse.

- while eating you can read through the books, making sure there’s no rfids, and slowly put them in your purse or shopping bag.

- what ive done once is ask my partner or friend to call me and i fake having to rush and leave, so i stuff the books in my bag and leave while on the phone w them (do this after checking for rfids)

🌱 concealing on floor

- find your blindspots!! this is a known rule here but it bears repeating, find your blindspots!!! if you’re going to conceal in an aisle, make sure theres no cameras above you or infront of you (there’s bookshelf cameras!!)

- i like to conceal while sitting on the mini sofas because your purse is in your lap and its a quick sleight of hand to put the book in it. find a chair/sofa in a blindspot!!

- and i see teens do this a lot, sit on the floor in the aisles and “read”, its so common to see that at b&n that some SA’s wont bat their eye

🌱 kid’s section

- this has its own part because the kids section at b&n usually doesnt have cameras, but they do have: at least one SA walking around (and the kids section isn’t exactly the biggest), and parents and kids who might be able to see you conceal. so be careful here
