    You have to keep in mind that the barcode are for inventory purposes, not security. They are placed there by the manufacturer so the retailer can keep stock. Alarms don't read for barcodes, or well, I've never seen any that do because it can't tell if a certain product was stolen being that all items of that model have the same barcode.

    Why would you bother buying something? It's called "browsing before you buy". Get into it.

    Dang no magnets. thats just great. aren't the cans will rattle in your sweater or pants or w/e?[/quote]
    As long as you walk carefully, you should be good because the cans won't rattle as much when they're full.

    ^ i always buy something small, makes it way less sketch and it will take away any thoughts they have about u jacking shit(if there even suspicious)

    and it just calms my nerves talking to the workers

    Buying shit when you rack seems real dodgy to me. Like it's more time standing around waiting to be served. I always go into shops and look around and don't buy anything so I don't think it's that sketchy just walking out.

    Well if it makes you feel better, than go ahead, but I walk in, get what I need, and walk out. If they try to stop you, just tell them you were browsing and you're in a rush. They can't touch you unless they have a badge. If they have a badge and question you, bolt it, hah.

    I personally like to buy just like one can or one paint marker or something small if I'm going to rack.

    Yeah. I hear there is some stores with one way mirrors so if you think your looking into a mirror trying to pick your nose, remember there could be someone watching, but foreals there is cause I know someone who has worked at one of them stores and said he can see everything in the one way mirror from one spot in his office and can catch just about anyone. Kinda scary if you think about it. thats why you need cover or just be a TRUE NINJA. :ph34r:

    ok, its already been covered that plastic bags dont stop the 'rays' from store security devices, but heres something that might:

    get a backpack and a lot of tinfoil
    cover the whole inside of the backpack with tinfoil, add many layers.
    make sure there are no major breaks in the tinfoil lining
    once you have added what you think is enough layers, place a cell phone in the bag, close it up and call the phone
    if it doesnt ring, youre good to go

    keep in mind i have never tested this, only read about it elsewhere. so if you try this and get busted, dont blame me


    i always buy a can whenever im racking paint, a kid standing for awhile in the spray paint isle is pretty suspect if you ask me. if you leave with at least one can, its somewhat less suspicious. i can pay 4.50$ and get close to 10 cans of krylon? thats a pretty good deal


    we even talked to this employee at micheals the other day, she kept eyeing us and coming back to our aisle, so we were like 'do you carry any lighter greens than this? were painting a nature mural at our school'
    she told us to go to rona to find more colors, and we said we would. then she came back like 5 mins later and we were still standing there
    ... i was like 'i think its time to peace it..'

    Go to any art or craft store and they should have a prisma markers. ask any worker about them and they should show you them. They are pretty pricey but are just so damn good to use. there really isnt much you can do to stop marker bleeding but if you don't want to make your fill or whatever darker avoid overlapping and go from one side to another. I find when writing with sharpies(because i suck and is too cheap to buy some prismas) is to quickly scrible in the fill without letting your sharpie to stop at all or you will have some dark parts and some light parts which is ugly.

    p.s. You can look up prisma markers on google to get a better idea. It's all about google images.

    p.p.s. I fergot to add a major thing about them and is that they are double tipped with one a broad chisel and one a fine tip but i think you have found that out already. ;)

    One way to rack paint at places like home depot where there's a garden section is to bring a backpack and then get a bunch of paint and put it in your cart then walk out into the garden section, put the paint in your backpack and just throw it over the top of the fence and it works best if you have a friend on the other side. Then just grab a sharpie magnum or something and walk into the self checkout line.


    Note: I do not condone the use of sharpie magnums....
