They are small 10"x10" squares of one-way mirrors, which are installed just under the sub ceiling, and run all the way around the circumference of the floor, spaced about 100 feet apart. There is a small passageway up there LP uses to get quickly from one port to the next, and there are stairs near each one to gain quick reentry to the floor. Each viewing port has a stool and set of high-powered binoculars. You can follow a person continuously throughout the entire sales floor without leaving the stool. One guy on the floor, one guy in the port, walkie-talkies to communicate and coordinate takedowns. You kind of need that when you are dealing with professional booster crews, but it also comes in handy when you think there's a chance the perp might already be onto you. -

Like it's been 5 years. I have it.
Baby formula is still a very hot item for shoplifters, because it has great resale value. I used to nail people all the time stealing those. They're like $50 a can. Some would steal like 6 cans at once, then come back in and take another 6 cans. Get greedy, get burnt. -

I cant imagine how I didnt get busted. I'd stand in the babby formula aisle for half an hour pretending to talk on my phone. How did someone not notice ? I fucking "syked" (spelling ) myself out constantly. I think I wanted someone to come address me but they never did. How does a walmart team of LPs not notice a guy shoving babby formula in his pockets over a half hour period? -

WalMarts are pretty sloppy. They have very large LP teams, but they're lazy and dumb, and their bosses don't really care. They make so much money, they don't give a fuck. But if you happen to be the one they manage to nab, they'll be all over you like a swarm. From what I've seen, when they come in for a takedown there's like 4 or 5 of them. Not like in my day, where we practically worked solo. -

That's weak and gay. Large teams of LPs ? Lol. They're just in the back room sucking each other off or what ? Imagine being prescirvrd a job where you just have to watch a monitor and catch me stealing. But they're too busy fucking each other. How EMBARRASSING.
Plus if 5 of them actually ever came at me I'd let them beat me up and file a lawsuit. -
2019-05-08 at 4:52 AM UTCI hate dudes that'll just stand there at the door with on security holding them makes want to fight the security for them it's so pathetic

Funny you mention M&Ms, because M&Ms were involved in a shoplifting incident where I was dragged half in and half out of a car driven by the shoplifter, and we were punching back and forth to the head and shoulders the whole time. These two tall, beefy, built guys walk in, looked like the gym types, and they head over to the hardware department. Once there, one of the guys looks at a $30 drill bit for a minute, then pretends to put it back on the hook, but palms it, and then pockets it. They browse some more items for awhile, then they start meandering through the aisles, at which point the same guy that stole the drill bit grabs a bag of M&Ms off the shelf in passing and opens it right up and starts eating them while he continues walking. Next thing you know, he and his buddy are heading straight for the main entrance, with the one still eating the M&Ms and holding the bag right in his hand.
When they got just past the two big front doors, I came up beside them and flashed my badge and told them they were both under arrest for shoplifting, but they just looked at one another and kept walking. I came around in front of them and blocked their progress, but they went around me, and the guy who didn't steal anything took a swing at me in passing, so I clocked him one right to the head and sent him half down to the ground in a kneel, then he scrambled up and they both ran to their car, with M&Ms dribbling out of the bag the thief was holding onto the pavement. When they got to the car, the one guy hopped in the passenger side, while the driver hopped into the driver's seat, and I ran up just in time to stop his door from closing and jammed it open with my body, and when he started clawing at me and my face, I started wailing on his head with direct punches. While he's taking the punches, he manages to get the key in the ignition, starts the car, and gets it into drive, and blasts off, with me still hanging half in and delivering full shots straight to his head. He raced around in wide arcs in the lot a couple of times at about 60mph, with smoke billowing up from the tires, while I kept delivering shots to his head and upper body, but I finally jumped and rolled free.
When the cops and I got to his house, after we ran his plate # I had memorized, he came to the door all meek and mild and insisted he had been sleeping the whole time and it wasn't him. One of the cops put his hand on the car's hood and found it was still very hot. After shining a flashlight inside the car, the cop spotted M&Ms spilled all over the rug and seat area on the driver's side. The idiot never let go of that bag, but he left a trail of hard evidence on the parking lot, and in his vehicle. When the cop told him he was fucked, he had to agree. The guy ended up getting a year in jail for assault on an officer and theft, and his buddy was also found guilty, but did not receive jail time. -
2019-05-08 at 5:10 AM UTCI did get caught shoplifting once and it was cough syrup from k mart. :) I was just so down and out that I just wanted to drink a tussin yall boy and forget my worries . When I left this Asian cuck ran at ke like hey you need to come back and I ignores him and left sne then 5 guys started chasing me down . It was winter and I was lazy so I didnt run.
That being said. They took me to the office and I signed ip for a program where I wouldn't get arrested if I just did their program and watched liken5 hours of why it's wrong to steal videos over the next few months. Haha

Curious.. what does that job pay?
I work in retail and we have area LP mgrs that oversee 200+ stores. Its specialty so we dont have any on site reps.
We dont do any extensive reporting or partner them in with any shortage under $500. -

You're lucky, because K-Mart has a "Zero Tolerance" policy for shoplifting. According to their policy, everyone gets criminally charged, whether you're 16 or 90. No excuses. If I was to let anyone off, I could be fired myself, for contravening company policy, that's how strict they were, although I still did let a few go. There's always those discretionary calls. -

Well, these days you would probably start at about $20/hr. After 10 years, you'd probably be making about $50/hour.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Sounds about right. I'd say at the executive level they're easily making 150k+ a year.
Idk that this job is as high in demand anymore though. With the insurance companies pay they are probably eliminating this position at a store level and will pay higher premiums. Especially when cutting costs. -

Absolutely. They like to stay in the black... and avoid being in the red. -

Perfect example of where Sears holding went wrong. Instead of prioritizing the customer experience and hiring top talent, they set their mission to a zero tolerance for theft. Says a lot about the culture and a negative assumption on their customer. -

This is true when the walmart crew came to get me they had 5 guys, blockin the door, all angry looking. It wasn't like you described what you did with a normal, cool demeanor. These niggas were mad about what I did. They took me down with force but I wasnt resisting at all once I was in their security room. while we were there one white guy in their crew took the stuff I was trying to steal and threw it all on the floor while yellin at me like he was legit mad. I guess that was supposed to scare me into complete submission? idek they had the numbers and my id card by that time it just seemed extra. prolly some faget taking out his anger at the world on me
