I wouldn’t worry about b&bw, just don’t conceal in front of other shoppers, most of them barely have cameras. Be careful in groups, it looks sus. Maybe break into small partners and communicate through text about where the SA are. Target is pretty strict about lifting but dear god do not leave boxes! Use the sleeve method (concealing it up your sleeve, then reach into your purse to grab your phone while the items drops in there) or the phone one (hide the item behind your phone and casually drop your phone and the item in your purse). Make sure you have a structured bag but not too flashy or expensive, just something simple. Seph0r@ can be tricky, at least the ones near me are, the employees communicate through the head sets so try to listen to what they’re saying when you can. Use your partner as a blind spot and don’t hold onto an item for too long or go back to a certain area to conceal more then twice. Always be quick and don’t draw attention to yourself, at any store. As for breaks, try to limit to 2-3 times a month but make sure you look different each time you go. I know at seph0r@ if your makeup and hair is done nicely, the SA are less likely to bother you. Don’t look directly at cameras or look guilty. If you feel like you’re being followed or watched or sussed, dump your shit and get out ASAP. It’s not worth going to jail for some makeup or lotion or accessories. Good luck!

I’ve done this at academy a couple times, always works. I get one of the hand baskets you carry and grab a couple clothing items to ‘try on’ and then head for the shoes, most of them are tagged but can be taken off if you have a magnet or hook. I don’t usually do that. So anyways, I put the shoes still in the box into the hand basket (I usually go for un tagged ones) and you can be looking around and trying them on so it won’t look sus. So yeah shoes still in the box go into the basket then I put the clothes on top of it to cover it up. I go to the dressing room, try on a thing or two, (the academy’s near me don’t usually have a SA working in there) and I quietly put the shoes in my purse (I carry a medium sized tote bag) then I put everything including the box bag in my basket, wander around the store a for a minute before dropping the basket in a blind spot then I gtfo, I usually pretend to be talking on the phone just in case. If you’re a guy you might be able to get away with carrying a messenger bag or backpack(look sporty tho, maybe even a gym bag) instead of a purse unless that’s ya thing! Good luck!
