Bluto :(

fuck I love being a cr1m1nã|

I didn't get reimbursed but I did get to price match so I got three other things I wanted (so long as it amounted roughly to how much the other order was for. NOW, I HAVE lied to them about not receiving my 0rder, so returning the stuff that doesn't fit isn't really an option, and there were things that DiDn'T FiT. I guess I'm stuck with those unless anyone's interested in pink sweatshorts from Social Tourist in Large.

I did get some new stuff though :) I hope it fits. I'll show you what it is when it ships over.

reenactment of how it went:

The lady was like "We have a picture of it on your front porch"

so I was like

"It says it was delivered on September the 30th. I was in Ontario for a funeral and only got back like on the 2nd-3rd of October. I was gone for a few days, it's possible it got stolen. I live in front of a parc so there's lots of foot traffic, someone could have taken it."

"Ok take my money."

1. know exactly what you’re going to get and don’t just throw whatever you see and like in your bag. normal shoppers don’t have infinite money and they don’t pick up every item without reading a price tag. read ingredients, check price tags, swatch items, compare two items and get one, don’t act as if you don’t think about paying for an item because that’s a huge sign that you’re l-fting

2. if an SA asks what you’re looking for, have a plan on what you’re saying. don’t say the item you’re l-fting!! if the store doesn’t carry lime crime products, say lime crime. if they don’t carry tatcha, say tatcha. say you’re looking for a gift for your sister and she just started getting into makeup. say you’re here looking to stock up/refill on a product that you use every day. say you just got a gift card and you’re looking for a couple items to spend it on. if they ever ask for a budget for a specific item, know what an expensive brand of the item costs, and say that.

3. stop using the cotton ball trick, it’s old as the hills and they know it.

4. conceal in hair care, large appliances like hair dryers, clearance, sometimes face masks if it’s an ooltaa.

5. when you’re about to leave, go to the register area and look at small travel items, as if you’re checking that area last and ur about to pay. they won’t watch you while they’re scanning other people. do it while they’re busy scanning and just leave. i like to look disappointed too. if an SA asks if i found anything, i say either 1. they didn’t have what i wanted 2. the item i wanted was out of stock or 3. nothing caught my eye 4. the item i wanted wasn’t in my skin tone so i’ll just buy it online

One thing I do most is look around clearance. In my store, it’s usually held in the back near the door where the employees section is. My store has orange stickers placed on these items. I sometimes find an item similar and remove said clearance tag to a full priced item. Worked for me every time except once, I just said “oh sorry I didn’t know, someone must’ve labeled wrong.” Bullshit excuse lmao.

I only lift from stores that don’t have loss prevention. Eàrthbound doesn’t have LP or any cameras (my location). Usually only 1-3 SA’s in store that I’m decent friends with, so they wouldn’t suspect me and my friend.

I ONLY take under the felony limits per store. My state is $1000 or under as a misdemeanor. (ITS IMPORTANT TO RESEARCH LOCAL AND STATE LAWS).

I never lift anything near or on the counter. It is suspicious to pick something out, walk away, and poof it’s gone. You will get eyeballed. If not that, then followed descretly.

Bath and Body works is another store I target. I only take roller ball perfumes, lip balms/gloss, small items basically. Staff are usually too busy to lookout for l/fters but don’t get too cocky. Cameras are present, not actively monitered, but no LP

When I go lifting, I delete tumblr. Mainly because if I get caught and the police gets called, if they wanna search my phone all they’ll find is games, selfies, and that’s it lol.

ALWAYS use your eyes not your head. Sometimes I pretend to look at myself on my phone (by pretending to make faces as if I am taking a selfie lol) but I actually use my rear camera. Just to see if any SA’s are looking at me.

Knowing my luck, usually one SA is at the counter either on their phone, checking out someone, or doing other things. My friend usually talks to the person at checkout and spark a convo with them. Something personal, or a rant. While I go around and l/ft.

This store is also close to the entrance and parking lot so I dump and go in the east or west gate instead.

H0t töpic is also a very easy store for me. Usually only one SA (unless the manager isn’t in the back organizing shit) I always conceal on floor while looking at displays as an excuse to keep my eye on the cashier (who has a nice ass btw lmao he’s so cute).

And PLEASE for the love of god dress like you can afford anything and everything you want. I always put on my designer belt, bag, clothes, Nike’s, & my AirPods.

(for g0th and alt3rnativ3 aesthetics/styles)

did a little researching from reviews and site details.

L!p S3rvic3: Hard. They aren't responsible for p@ckages after shipm3nts but if u push and tussle about it not arr!ving for 1-2 weeks they eventually have nothing left to do but offer r3fund. Not recommended.

D0c M@rt3ns: Not too difficult. I'd recommend Dn4 when ordering them on N0rdstr0m. If they are hesitant/refuse to at first through email, call support and they will be an instant help! might ask you to wait a little longer but eventually will offer r3fund.

K!llsttar: 97% success rate! W!ll make you file a cla!m first and will usually offer r3funds almost immediately! pls wait 2-3 days before cla!m to be safe. also good if u don't support them for being dicks but u like their clothes! "sc@mmer get sc@mmed!" 😍

V@mpir3FreakSS DO NOT CLA!M DN4. if you select sh!pping protection they will instruct you to create a p0lice rep0rt for th3ft. If you do without protection, they simply will not do anything about it. You're better off d0ing returns/3mpty Box

D!sturbi@: EASY BUT just know: They say they will inv3stigate but from what ive read, its most likely just a lie and they'll r3fund in a week or less. If you don't hear from them after 7 days of filing cla!m just email asking for an update or complain on a review site and theyll say they've processed your r3fund.

TR!PP N.Y.C: NO R3FUNDS. EMPTY B0X PROBABLY BETTER TO DO. would not recommend generally for any tricks.

Am@z©n: VARIES BUT MOSTLY EASY! do not claim Dn4 if they have taken a picture of your pac kag 3 (which you can check on delivery status/arrived email). If no photo was taken, claim and will r3fund quickly.

D0llsk!ll: Do not cla!m Dn4. Not responsible for l0st packages. In exceptions they only offer r3sending packag3s. bad company overall LOLLL

Sp3nc3rs: Easy! Cust0mer Servic3 isn't the best and may be slow but they're pretty kind and will offer r3funds for DN4. May ask to wait for a bit or look around for pack ag3 but other than that, they shouldn't really ask anything else.

H0t T0p!c: DO NOT TRY. Not responsible for p@ckages after sh!pment. May do some exceptions for ups3t customers but it really isn't the best store to dn4 from anyways and will probably refuse r3funds 89% of the time.

ALL ROLEPLAY!
