i agree and disagree. christmas holidays means more staff on floor in most places but yes it would be easier to conceal shit without people seeing if there's more people in the store to keep workers busy.

If you know what you're doing, October - December might be easier with the rush. But it's still riskier since most stores hire more LP and local cops tend to focus on retail theft during the holidays. You might have a higher chance of getting caught in January since the rush has slowed down, but there is still a lot of LP working.

A lot of people think it’s more likely but I think it’s 50/50 , both on extreme ends. They’ll either be super dedicated to hunting down lifters during the holiday season or they’ll be so busy that they are blind to anything going on. I find mostly depends on the time of day and affluence of the area. For example, SWIM went to a mall in a poorer neighborhood with a history of organized theft around midday on a weekend. Midday is when all the workers have woken up and dedicated to get through the day, so they’re alert and ready. Not to mention the mall was probably trained to stop theft because of its history. Here were about six Mall Cops around at all times. While there, they were sussed enough to leave the mall entirely. Alternatively, this person went to a different mall (in a rich area) during the week in the morning when it had just opened. All the employees were tired and trying to finish up opening procedures and unpacking merchandise. It was extremely easy for them. This isn’t a complete rule of thumb though. When you enter a place, check out the cash registers and the line. Is there a long line? They’re probably busy and not paying attention to the cameras (unless they have LP). While you walk around, how many staff members are on the floor? Are they giving customer service or stocking shelves? If you see all of the employees with their hands tied up with something there’s a good chance that it’ll be a breeze. Don’t get cocky though of course

More of a chance. I know lifters that make their living at this and they pretty much stop from October-December.
