HOW NOT TO LOOK SUS AS A MINOR
Alright guys, Iâm no biggie lifter. I obviously havenât pulled off $7,000 heists with the snap of my fingers ( and i seriously respect those who do ). But here are a few tips on how not to get watched for all my youngsters out there. These have all worked for me, but if you wanna debunk them or call bullshit then go ahead; Iâm still learning.
Your Outfit- Okay, guys, I know that wearing all black and looking like youâre the grungiest skate kid that ever came out of Kurt Cobainsâ ass is the look right now, but please, DO NOT TRY TO PULL OFF A HEIST LOOKING LIKE THIS. Â As soon as you enter that S*phora the SAâs are gonna be up your ass. And I get it, itâs hard, looking like an edge lord is my aesthetic too, BUT DONâT FRET, THIS RULE DOES NOT APPLY TO SELECT PLACES. Such places as H*t T*pic, V*ns, Z*mies, T*llyâs, or basically any store where this kind of style is the norm. However, for most stores, try to dress in light colored, cute clothes. If youâre a teenage girl, wearing clothes from f2I is a good idea, but try to focus on the less grungie colors. Like pink (the color not the store). For the love of god, wearing pink as a teenager makes the employees so chill. Who would think that girl in the pink romper would steal a bunch of n*ked p*lettes? Obviously this also doesnât apply to super fancy stores like M*chael K*rs i and shit, but Iâve never lifted from those kinds of stores where dressing like a goddess is the norm. Either way unless you can really pull off looking like a SUPER rich kid or can somehow make yourself look older I wouldnât recommend lifting from those kinds of stores, cause as soon as minors enter all the eyes go onto them.
Makeup- Make it match your outfit! Cute, innocent, soft, NUDE. Unless it goes with your aesthetic then donât go too flashy so that EVERYBODY is gonna be looking at you. But if youâre going to Sephora or Ulta this rule doesnât apply. When going to these places look like you know what youâre doing! Contour, Highlight, look like even though youâre a kid you invest your allowance in makeup.Â
The act- When you enter, act like all the cameras are working and on you. Donât look up at cameras ( if you just HAVE to then look with your eyes, not your face! ). Donât look super shaky, donât look around constantly, OR WANDER AROUND AIMLESSLY. Remember minors are watched more often than adults, so donât act like a shoplifter. When you come in, know what you want, and act like you know what your doing! Look at decoy items, check the prices, put things in your shopping basket. When you get to what you really want donât make a big deal about it. Make it look like any other item you picked up. If an employee asks if they can help you then say youâre just browsing or looking for a specific brand that you know they donât carry, then theyâll leave you alone. However if employees wonât leave you alone or you see someone constantly following you as discretely as possible dump your shit and leave. Itâs not worth your reputation to get caught. I know your first few lifts will make you terrified and nervous, and you may break some of these rules, but just breathe, chew gum, do whatever makes you calm down.Â
Concealing- If youre 13 and lugging around a big ass purse then thatâs super sus. Instead, use cheap yet still cute purses in colors that arenât black because some stores are starting to catch on that most lifters use black bags (purses from ch*rming ch*rlies are pretty good!). Also, DONT CARRY AROUND A BACKPACK. THAT IS THE SUSSEST THING OF ALL TIME ESPECIALLY FOR MINORS. Personally, however, I donât even use purses/bring them unless Iâm getting a bunch of stuff! I conceal on person by stuffing everything in my pants, bra, etc., (not pockets though). So if they ask to check your bag, they wonât find anything PLUS youâre a minor so they arenât gonna pat you down or make you take your clothes off. And if they do you can sue them for sexual harassment haha. This is just how I like to do it though, and it always works. When its cold out I wear a huge PINK sweatshirt with no hoodie or pockets. Iâve made off with over $300 worth of makeup just by shoving everything under it.
I might think of more later but thats all i have now. I hope this is somewhat useful and if anybody would like to add on thatâd be great.
