Roleplay liftin'.

- employees don’t approach you (this means they’re busy and inattentive)

- there’s many people in the store (this is good because you won’t stand out and you’ll blend in)

- dressing rooms are open (they probably have a low theft rate)

- there’s a group of girls with tote bags (they’ll watch them and not you)

- there’s cameras everywhere (now listen, they’ll think they have good security but lightning concealing will be easy to miss with so many cameras)

New lifters especially please listen

Fuck lòss preventi0n.

I've seen so many of you get "caught" by LP or staff

you need to f*cking stop cooperating with staff members and LP

let me let you in on a little secret here

LP AIN'T LEGAL AUTHORITY !!!

get this through your head plz!!

if you get stopped by someone other than the pòlice, this includes managers staff members and loss prèvention

DO NOT COOPERATE!

do not admit to shit no matter what they tell you if they say they have it on camera and threaten to call còps, leave the store, get out of the area and let them. if they have no legal Authority do not cooperate ever!! as long as they visibly are còps or tell you they are law enforcement you can basically tell them to f*ck off and leave the store and you will be fine I promise.

if you get stopped by anyone other than a legal officer just leave get out of there. do not get scared they cannot hurt you no matter what they threaten as long as they're not putting you in handcuffs I promise you're fine do not cooperate NO NOT. COOPERATE. UNLESS THEY ARE COPS.

Wáłmàrt - Has dedicated LP/AP. They are easy to spot however. Avoid electronics, women’s, baby care, makeup, perfume, clearance, and jewelry (if applicable). Best is kids toys, and grocery. Will chase, prosecute, and ban. Not supposed to call police for anything under $25 but I’ve had friends experience otherwise. Goes for all stores operating under Sám’s Club/Wáłmárt INC.

Mïçhàèł’s - Unfortunately some stores have LP/AP and are dedicated (like mine). Mostly are plainclothes walking around with earpieces and/or walkie talkies. Has alarm/censors. Avoid lïfting in fine arts. Toys, home decor, and notebooks/sketchbooks are a safer bet. Has sensors located around all doors and doors will lock if activated to avoid a theft occurring (some may some may not).

Bôôks à Mïllīon - Has cameras but not actively monitored. No known LP/AP. Best to conceal in children’s isles, religious readings, and clearance. Avoid records/vinyls. Only store manager has the power to call police/prosecute.

Bárńeś @ Nöbłe - Has cameras that aren’t actively monitored. Only store managers have authority to be AP/LP and call police. Won’t chase. But will try to get a photo of your license plate. Children’s sections are best to conceal in. Avoid records/vinyls and electronics.

Ułtá - Has cameras and are actively monitored. Most employees have AP/LP training as you are hardly ever shopping alone. They will follow you around the store. Will call police and some cases will chase. Best to conceal in isles closest to the doors if you want to make a fast escape.

Sèphörà - Mall stores are severely dangerous. You’re better off just going to ûłtá. *Avoid the ones that are connected to a JÇP*. Will chase, prosecute, ban, etc. Stand alone stores such as outdoor malls/shopping centers are your safest bet if you plan to make a fast escape.

Tárgèt - Similar to Walmart but zero blind spots as there are a lot of cameras and can rotate. Dedicated AP. Will chase, prosecute, ban, and case build. Better off to go to one location and never go back after a łift.

Sałłÿ’s - Very lax. No LP/AP as of to date. Avoid corners as there are cameras/mirrors. Only 1-3 employees in the store. Assume cameras are being watched. Better to conceal in the middle isles or the inner part of outer isles. Not known to chase, prosecute, or ban.

Höt Töpic/Böx Lûnch - They operate under the same parent company Sycamore Partners. Some stores my have cameras but are hard to see. Store managers will act as AP but will call district supervisors if a large theft as occurs. Be fast and use common sense. Cameras may be monitored and items are counted in fitting room. Safest bet is to lighting conceal. They all have door alarms and are triggered very easily.

Höbbÿ Löbbÿ - Most stores have LP. Cameras are most likely not monitored but just pretend they are. Be fast and couscous. Best to conceal in home decor and toys. Avoid fine arts and electronics.

Mïcháèl Körś/Káte Spàde/Cöáçh - Stores are small and has dedicated staff to act as LP. Merchandise is scarce and it’s easy to tell if something went missing. Will call police, prosecute, and ban. Hardest is Cöáçh. Avoid Boutiques. Safest best is outlet locations as they are cheaper and slightly bigger than normal retail locations in bigger malls.

Aèröpośtale - (How are they still in business lmao) Cameras are monitored but only LP is store managers or PIC. Not known to prosecute will most likely ask for merchandise back. Conceal fast and leave. Avoid clearance sections as they are closest to checkout area. Some stores have door alarms I’ve seen some they do and some that don’t.

Vèrá Brádłeÿ - Stores are small and has dedicated staff to watch merchandise. No known LP but staff is dedicated. Will call mall security. Safest bet is to lightning conceal ID/lanyards, and small wallets. Customer to staff ratio is 2:1.

GámèStöp - Avoid mall stores. Later at night usually 1-2 people working. Cameras aren’t actively monitored and don’t record. Best to conceal fast and leave. Sometimes making a purchase will deter accusation. If you’re alone in the store with staff they will watch you.

Pètco/Pètsmart - Cameras record but aren’t actively monitored. Avoid expensive reptiles/fish isles. Won’t chase, but may prosecute or call police. That’s if you get caught but they’re usually vaping in the break room lol.

Máçÿ’s/Dïllīàrd’š/JĆP - Stores have dedicated LP and may have an actual police officer in the back rooms (I have first person experience and it was not pleasant.) Will chase, prosecute, and ban you via making you sign a trespass. Cameras rotate and they do case build. Will issue civil demand. If you get charged you may have to contact an attorney. They will remember you as I scoped out the location 3 weeks prior to my lïft. They remembered me.

Wàłgrèéñ’ś & ÇVŠ - Regional LP. Will get called in when a theft has occurred (but usually ORC from employees). Won’t prosecute usually but will chase or try to get a picture of your license plate. Avoid liquor isles. Inner isles without the mirrors are your safest bet.

Döłłár Gènèrâł - Cameras aren’t actively monitored but they will follow you if suspected. They do tag and have door sensors.

Döłłâr Trêé - Since they are getting more expensive merchandise some have cameras. Aren’t actively monitored but will get followed around if suspected. Easy store. Use common sense.

Any stores operating under the TJX brand. (Márshálłs TJMáxx) Have LP and cameras are actively monitored. Frequent tagging and has door sensors. Strict with fitting room. Will chase, prosecute, and ban.

Hi guys! so im kinda risking it all making this post, but recently a “friend” 🤫 of mine got a job where they had to take a four hour long ŁP training course. Here’s what my “friend” learned!

Here is what łp is tràined to LOOK for when trying to spot lïfters.

1. Carrying a large bag that LOOKS empty, but its clearly stated that genuine shoppers also use large bags, so to not judge someone for this. They mainly judge people using duffle bags or backpacks. A tip for this is to use a structured purse if you have one, since you cant tell if its empty or full, ŁP can’t tell either.

2. Leaving a trail of empty hangers, if you take every item off the hanger when shopping, łp is trained to watch you for this.

3. Emptying packages, if you empty packages on camera or infront of workers (even if you didnt cönceal it yet) łp is tràined to watch you. So don’t empty packages! Just take off a security sticker if there is one, this is harder for ŁP to notice.

4. Selecting more than one of the same item in ONE SWIPE. What this means is if you pick up multiple of the same item without looking at prices / sizing, we are told this is very suspicious. What you can do to seem like a geniune shopper is pick up an item, then pick up the same time that is a different size or color, we are told this isn’t suspicious.

5. Not looking at prices. I am super guilty of this.. if you don’t look at prices and just quickly pick up items, we are told to watch you.

6. Lingering in high - theft area for a long time (example being in jewelry section for 20 minutes without buying anything) this is seen as very suspicious. what you can do to avoid this is pick the item you want then go to your blindspot. (example of what you should do: picking up makeup, then walking to the tampon section to conceal it)

7. Watching customers or sales associates. This one is hard to tell, since we are told some customers may just have anxiety. To avoid this i recommend looking with your eyes, and don’t stare at employees, just glance with your eyes.

8. Lingering near an exit with a cart full of stuff. I feel this one is self explanatory. If you want to do a wàlköut, don’t linger near the exit, just go!! You’re less likely to be noticed this way.

What employees / managers are trained to DO when they SEE a shoplïftîng.

- We are trained to cūstomēr sèrvice, we are NOT allowed to accuse people, we are also not supposed to be rude to them. If you just concealed something, and a worker walks up to you right after you concealed it and says something like “How may I help you?” Chances are they saw you conceal and you should leave as soon as possible. If you haven’t concealed yet and workers come up to you, don’t worry, we are trained to greet every customer. Or if they come up to you about five minutes after you concealed, also don’t worry, they most likely didn’t see. Only worry if they come to you a few seconds after you concealed.

- We are told that if we chase a shoplïfter out of the store we will be fired for risking our safety. We are supposed to wait for them to leave, THEN contact łp if we saw them (example: If you witness a wàlkout, you shouldn’t confront them or chase, wait for them to leave, then email łp what you saw.) But be warned, if ŁP happens to be there, they are allowed to confront you.

Other things I learned -

1. NOT ALL LOCATIONS OF RETAIL STORES HAVE LP ASSIGNED TO THEIR LOCATION. I actually never knew this. If a location is considered “löw shrink” (not a lot of thèft) they just won’t assign any ŁP to the location. This does not go for every cômpany, but I assume a lot of them.

2. If a store happens to have ŁP, they most likely have rēgional ŁP. this means ŁP wont be there everyday, they go to a different location every shift. So ŁP will only be there once or twice a week. You never know when they are there though, so still be careful.
