First of all, no retail employee is EVER held liable for customer theft. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Unless an employee is in direct collusion with a customer, they aren’t going to get in trouble for someone else shoplifting. This would actually be illegal. 

I’ve worked probably ten or more retail establishments, from lowly part timer all the way up to management. I was NEVER properly trained to deal with theft. Not once. Even when working for big corporations. I’ve heard ‘if they take something big, wait until they leave and call mall security if you want’, ‘we can’t watch everyone’ and ‘just put those purses up high’. So I’m going to say 99% of employees are VERY undertrained in loss prevention. This is good.

Now some shoe store tips! I’ll do some others later, just take this for now. Here’s some methods that worked on me, haha. This is mostly for smaller mall-style stores without cameras although any blind concealing techniques would work if there are. The places I worked tagged purses but didn’t have towers (wtf i know), but you’ll have plenty of opportunity to detag anyway.

If you go early or late, there’s going to be less employees. There might only be one. Most mall shoe stores have really big back rooms that need CONSTANT organizing. Usually this is done in off hours, at opening or for a few hours before closing (unless they have a dedicated stock person, which most stores do not). So you can easily get the store all to yourself. Just ask for a size in a couple different pairs of shoes. If there is another SA on the floor, they might even pitch in to help get your stuff if you ask for a lot. If you REALLY need some time to yourself, pick out different styles. Usually the sandals, runners, boots, etc, are all kept in different areas in the back, so your SA is going to take longer. 

So for purses, wallets, accessories: while they’re gone, help yourself. Take a purse, detag if you have to, and leave. If you feel weird leaving before the SA comes back out, grab what you want and then fake a phone call, apologize when they bring your stuff, say it’s an emergency, maybe you’ll be back, or maybe you didn’t notice how late it was and you have to go, etc, and get out.

If you want some shoes: again, ask for multiple pairs. Collect up some of the display shoes while the SA’s in the back. You can just leave these nearby like you’re checking them out or shove them under a couch/chair, behind your big ass lifting bag, whatever. So your SA comes back out with your pile of shoes. Most SA’s are not going to sit there and put the shoes on your feet or watch you take them on and off but some do, so know your store and your SA’s style. I’m gonna say from my experience, female SA’s are going to leave you alone more than male SA’s, especially the older male SA’s who think they can flirt their way into a sale. It’s fucking disgusting, so watch out.

Anyway, once you’ve got your shoes, MAKE A FUCKING MESS. Mix stuff up, lids and tissue paper everywhere, get some of those little sockettes out, maybe you’ve got some clothes you want to match to the shoes (this is a great technique because if you’re looking for a specific match to a dress for a wedding or prom, it gets you out of the store more easily when you don’t find it), etc. You can easily conceal in this mess. If the SA is too attentive, ask for more shoes from the back, and conceal while they’re gone. Remember those display shoes you grabbed off the shelves? Put them in the empty box(es), put the lids on, stack them under your other boxes. Make it look neat like maybe you didn’t even open that box. No one’s going to notice until you’re gone. Up to you how you wanna get out; fake a call, say you have other shoe stores to check out but you might be back, whatever you’re comfortable with. Just leave before the SA starts gathering up your mess.

But honestly, when I was dealing with messy customers, I’d just angrily toss everything back in boxes, pile it all up and shove it in a corner to deal with later. Sometimes there were even empty boxes that I didn’t notice until way later, like MONTHS later. Seriously, if we were really busy, we’d just stack the tried on shoe boxes up in a corner behind the cash and wait until close or even the next morning put them away, so they never got checked properly.

I got caught

OMG are u ok what happened

Walmart loss prevention, but I thankfully got away!

Oh thank god

Can you explain more??

Like, how I fucked up or how you definitely know if loss prevention is onto you or not?

BOTH

So, we had taken orders and were in there way to long, but I think they just randomly profiled us because we were two teens. I had structured sports pack on and we slipped everything in there. I was waiting near the front for my friend to pull his car around and there were a couple walmart employees by the door. I should have dumped everything right then but I was a dumbass and wanted the shit I had. So I started walking out the door and was ten feet in front of the second door when two loss prevention officers grabbed me. One of them was a fat woman, the other was a hitman lookalike bald guy who was pretty fit. So they walkes me to their security office by the left side when leaving doors, and before we walked in a ducked and weaved, through them and out the door, they pursued me past the parking lot and onto the highway which is when he gave up, the fat woman was long behind. Watch out for customers if they see you running they’ll try to be a hero. Friend came back and picked me up an hour later when we knew it was clear.

This is why im fucking terrified of ever getting caught. Im such a shitty and slow runner. Any tips? Also, I keep hsaring Walmarts a hard place to lift from, are there any other places with really good Lp?

Target…target has their shit on lock. They are even better than best buy, most of the new targets are laid out for open aisles to cameras with minimal watch needed, and they have plain clothes on the ground and staff watching the cameras almost 24/7. If you can’t run, DO NOT lift at iffy places or places that are harder to lift from, just dont

i don’t have a magnet so I can’t lift bras yet but here’s what i’ve learned from VS.

Imo vs is an easy store, they hire teen-college SA’s, they barely count in the dressing rooms (1 time in probably 50 trips bc i think she was the manager), they have so many blind spots. Even though I see a lot of blind spots, i personally never conceal on the floor. Too many customers around for me to feel 100% chill. 

Step 1: get a ton of panties and bras around 2 panties for every one i plan to lift. I always make sure to bring some bright colors (hot pink, neon yellow/orange). These will come in hand later. 

Step 2: get a bag, don’t ask for one tho. either they just come up to you and offer or you grab one off the holder thingies. Don’t ask because u might be memorable. 

Step 3: put all your panties/bras/clothes in and keep browsing. Keep browsing as u make ur way over to the makeup section and begin to look through makeup and perfumes. Just start to pull some into the bag, don’t shovel too much in the bag at a time just grab a few pieces and continue walking around and just put them in your bag like ur tired of carrying them. The bright underwear u got earlier will hide ur bright ass lipstick u just got

Step 4: when u see the dressing room is full-ish (3+ people in line) get in line. SA’s just want to get customers in and out at this point so they’ll probs shuffle you in, ask some basic questions and leave u alone. 

Step 5: go crazy!! Put the panties u want in ur bag but make sure u leave the neon ones so that the SA’s dont suspect (it’s weird to see a lady with a neon pink panty suddenly not have one). When you’re done just leave a few bra’s/panties because lets be real, no one love every single thing they’ve picked out.

Step 6: at this point just walk around some more, check your phone, look astonished and seek out an SA to hand your bag to. Say “sorry could i leave this with you I just realized i need to get to lunch/dinner/a date/my mom/my friend” and they’re super nice about it and they will be like “thanks for no leaving this bag around :)” 

Okay so went to walmart and target

Total: $119.00

Because, today my younger sister begged me to get her a plan B . I had to lift her two. When we picked it up, i was really nervous because it was wrapped like this ^^ and so i msged len about my concern of this. I wasnt sure if it would be tagged or not even though it didn’t look like it was. Butttt, there ended up being a tag in the inside of the packaging. Len had gave me the idea of buying a big box of pads or tampons big enough to fit the packaging of the plan b. She told me to buy a box of those after i had lifted the plan B. After that, i went into the bathroom and luckly i had my car keys and no one was in the bathroom so i tore through the packaging and took out the pill and i saw the tag. I had emptied all the pads into my bag and put the packaging in the box and i had thrown it away in the big trashcan they had at the very bottom.

I can’t stress enough to do it this way unless u figure out something better. I was so nervous doing this. If i had the choice, I wouldn’t of lifted this. But I didn’t want to end up with a pregnant sister lmao . Definitely not lifting or going there for awhilllleeee. This lift made me so nervous. (This is at target btw)
