‼️‼️THESE TAGS ARE FAKE‼️‼️

I worked at F21 for four years and these have always been fake. I took a bucket full of these and walked right out of the store and I didn’t beep. We got these because accessories was the highest shrink department in F21 and they’re literally just there to scare you off. !!!!!!!DO NOT MISTAKE THESE FOR THE PENCIL TAGS THEY ALSO USE ON ACCESSORIES!!!!!!!

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.

Call the store. Ask to speak to the loss prevention department.

Me: “Hi. I’m looking for a job in loss prevention and am wondering if you’re hiring now.”

Them: “Yes we are!” (Great time to lift. They’re hiring. Which means they need people and if they still have LP they are just putting in their 2 weeks so they can get the hell outta there.) If they aren’t hiring, ask if you can still submit an application.

Me: “Thanks! Who can I ask for when I come in and apply?”

Them: “Ask for Johnny B Good. He’s our LP manager.”

Me: “Thank You!” Hangs up phone. Goes on Facebook and looks up Johnny B Good. Finds him. Cute photo of him and his wife. Awe look. They have a new baby. Sweet. So he’s gained some weight since 2010. Wow. Oh look at his 200 friends. Let’s check them out. LP are close with not only their own LP but other stores as well.

So now I know that Johnny B Good is the LP manager at my favorite store. I also know what he looks like and can watch out for him when I’m in the store. Bonus. If he’s the Manager, he’ll usually be in plain clothes bossing the other LP around so you can find out who they are as well!

This saved me from getting caught one day. I was on the lookout for Johnny B Good and there was no sign of him anywhere. I continued gathering all the stuff I wanted to lift plus the stuff I didn’t. I was about to exit and I got this weird gut feeling. Not now. I strolled around the store some more. I noticed this guy in a green t-shirt who walked passed me twice and it looked like he knew the store employees. It freaked me out that I was being followed and I started dumping sh-t fast!!! I decided maybe I should buy a few things and take a few things. As I’m turning the corner, I look back at green t-shirt and he’s chatting with guess who!? Johnny B Good!!! There he is!! Omg!! So I lift nothing, buy a few items and leave!! I go home and look at his fb again. There’s green t shirt on his friends list!

They stalk you. Why not stalk them? Could save your life one day!!! Does Johnny B Good think I’m a lifter? Maybe. Or maybe just an airhead who couldn’t make up her mind. Who knows. I stayed clear of that place for 6 months!! When I went back I saw him again. He had no clue who I was. I knew who he was though. And that’s all that matters!

When calling another store they not only told me they were hiring but couldn’t connect me to the LP manager because they literally had NO LP at the time and were desperately searching! Yipppeeeeeeeee!!!! I went there 5 days in a row! Lol. Great Hauls.

Information is power. Acquire it, use it!

Classified from easiest to trickiest.

Disclaimer : i’m not talking here about what will happen if they catch you, i’m talking about what employees and fitting room attendants usually do with your items.

- Unattended fitting rooms 

Unattended fitting rooms are God’s gift to all lifters. No one to see you enter, no one to see you leave. You’re hella free to do anything as long as you don’t come in with 7 shirts and come back with 1.

- Unattended but monitored fitting rooms

Same as above, only difference is the entrance to the fitting rooms have cameras directly filming it. They might not be watched, but in case make sure your items look the same when you exit than when you entered, and don’t look directly at the camera.

- Unattended but locked fitting rooms

If you need someone to open the room for you, but no one is actually around, conceal in the blindspot formed by the fitting room corridor and then call an employee. If there’s a camera, conceal away from it.

- Fitting room attendants that don’t count

Take roughly 7 items with you and only conceal one, or if you want to feel more secure double hang items, they’re more likely to not be noticed.

- Fitting room attendants that count

You can either double hang (make it look flawless), conceal on the floor or lie about the number. I don’t recommend that however if they double check your hangers, even discreetly.

- Employees that take items from you while counting

Don’t even think about lying or dougle hanging here, better conceal on the floor. If the store is very busy, conceal a small shirt and use it as a decoy to conceal a bigger items that you brought on a hanger.

- Employees that take items from you while you’re still browsing

These are very annoying IMO, even if they’re just doing their job afterall. Get them to start a room for you, conceal on the floor or slip some items inside the room while they’re looking away. 

The leftover rack technique

I didn’t know where to put that one so here it is : stores often have a special rack for items you don’t want anymore, casually located near the fitting rooms. I found 2 ways to use that to your advantage.

- When no one is watching, quickly grab some items from the rack and use them as decoys, and hand them back as if they were yours all along.

- When browsing, place some items you plan on lifting on the rack. You’ll get them later inside your room when dropping items you don’t want. This requires that no employee is gonna empty the rack/ see you, but it works pretty well against attendants that take items from you when you’re still browsing.

Hope this helped, feel free to send me your own store fitting room policies so i can add them here/give more tips. Do not hesitate to correct me either if you think i said something wrong.

Hello everyone So I’ve been thinking, in my normal everyday life I can’t really talk to anyone about my second life on Tumblr. I mean I can but talking to likeminded lifters isn’t easy. I passed by a post recently about wanting to make a community of people who can support and help each other. A community that can grow, teach, learn and understand each other. Let’s be real this sounds amazing. So I thought I’d give it a try?

So if you want to be part of the community and you:

- are 15 to 19

- have a love for creating things

- lift but also have a life without lifting

- are active on social media

- enjoy lifting 🛍😁

If you are any of the above please reblog this post. I will pick some of you to be part of this community. I’m gonna start it small and see what happens from there.

So again reblog this because likes don’t count and I won’t take you into consideration for this group ❗️❗️

❤️HELLO LOVES❤️

This is going to be a security tag names and removal post!!

I’m getting a lot of questions about the different types of tags and how to get them off sooo I’m going to be telling you guys the names of all of these tags from left to right starting with the top row and how to get them off.

1) sensormatic tag: don’t know the exact tag name but ik that’s a sensormatic and that one requires a hook.

2) sensormatic tag: hook

3) sensormatic: magnet

4) sensormatic: hook

5) sensormatic pencil tag: hook

6 & 7) gator: magnet or rubber band/hair tie

8) clam/UFO: magnet

9) some kind of sensormatic: magnet

10) these fucking suck and idk what they’re called but they require a lot of twisting and tugging and maybe a magnet? Not completely sure. You can probably cut the wire but idk if that’ll trigger an alarm. It depends

11-16) pencil tags: magnet

17) clam tag/dome tag: magnet

18-23) clam/dome: magnet

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

**an easy way to remember types of tags and removal is this:

•the more rectangular, thin, vertical ones are pencil tags

•the ones that are flat and rectangular with a small hole on the side and are curved are for hooks

•dome shaped tags and square shaped tags and tags with those bumps on them are for magnets. They’re magnetic and held together with a pin that the magnet pulls off

•those ugly yellow ones that have the little pyramids are gator tags and require bands of some sort and a magnet helps

•most ink tags (not pictured in this post but will say ink tag and be clear and have visible ink in them usually) require magnets but sometimes bands

The first few are weird mutant shapes and not quite pencil or dome but the brand is sensormatic and their tags always require a hook or magnet

I hope this helps at least someone!

Xoxo, Haullsey

LP, general/regional management and store management are the only ones allowed to stop you. LP, RM, GM only come to the store during thanksgiving, Black Friday, Christmas, New Years and summer.

There are normally three managers in the store at all times they wear all black or black and white and have a headset on them. Head cashiers are the only other people who wear headsets.

When you go in you’ll normally see a monitor behind where the cashiers stand they are watching fragrance, they have no way to change that view it stays on fragrance.

Management is usually behind the registers helping or in the back taking conference calls, doing interviews, watching cameras or doing payroll.

In the whole time I worked there I was either behind the register or doing go backs. The only ppl who work there that really have free range to move around are salon, whoever is on register for salon, MUA’s or ppl doing facials. You will occasionally see someone who does freelance makeup for a company but they never go too far away from where they need to be.

If you’ve ever been in Ulta and heard a binging/pinging noise stay calm

1 bing noise means - I need another cashier up here the line is getting long 2 bing noises means - I need a manager now before you panic when you hear 2 all that means is I need an override or I need more money in my register.

They get new shipments in every Monday, so if you want to get in and get out go Monday morning. Why? A. We had to be there no later than 5 am to get all the stuff off the truck unbox it, stock it and clean up. We normally would be done around 9 am B. There’s usually still small boxes of stuff still out with merch in them (naked palettes etc) C. SA’s are so tired and delirious by 9am and just want to gtfo they won’t even notice you.

You’re biggest concern is Johnny Boy Scouts customers who snitch if they see you concealing.

but then you lift $100+ of the stores product
