"What the hell is Bernsteining?" you well may ask. Well it's the term
that my
friends and I use to describe getting into places, getting things
and doing things at no cost to us, but to others. Once you learn some
basic techniques, it will be easy for you to become a hoarker of severe
level. Hoarking is another term, which means basically the same thing.
Several other terms have been used to describe the process, but these are
the ones that I like. Hopefully I will be able to tell enough about
Bernsteining to get you going, and I hope I make some sense.
There are several d
ifferent ways of Bernsteining. One method is
shoplifting. But not ordinary shoplifting, no no! I am not talking about
shoving a package of ding dongs down your pants and sweating while sneaking
out of the store. When you "hoarklift" you do it with style. Another
Bernstein method is the one that I like the best, getting into places for
free. This one covers almost the whole Bernstein spectrum. One that know
the techniques can get into almost anyplace they desire for free, if not
for considerably less
than what it would cost an uninitiated Bernsteiner.
The best thing about all this is it's fun as hell! It's a great feeling
to wake up in the morning with about $2.50 in change in your pocket, then
by mid day be inside Walt Disney World, screwing with the old folks, eating
your fill of junk in the Future World Cafe. Yes, it can be done, all for
free if you know how. Hopefully, I can show you how, and the world can be
full of Bernsteins.

Let's talk about hoarklifting. It's a lot like shoplifting in that
you go into a store and walk out with something that you didn't pay for,
and now own. If you were to go into a store, such as Skaggs, Albertsons,
Publix, Winn Dixie, Jewel Osco, etc, etc, etc... you would not want to be
shoving merchandise down your drawers. The boneheads that work at these
stores are dumb, but not dumb enou
gh to not notice large bulges in your
pants. Also, you are very limited by what you can fit in your pants.
Unless you are skinny and got yourself made up to be a heifer, there just
ain't much room in there. The goal here is to get a LOT of stuff out of
the store, and maybe even get some help taking it out to your car.
Ok, let's get down to the nitty gritty. Things you need... umm you
need yourself of course, and you gotta be half way presentable. You gotta
look like someone who would have a whole
shopping cart of groceries. When
selecting items to take, don't be stupid. Don't fill a cart with beer.
Fill it with whatever most people get when they are at the store. You
don't want to draw attention to yourself at all. You must look like an
ordinary customer. So.., when you comb the aisles, with shopping list in
hand, and fill your cart as you wish, start going up to the front. Ok,
this step is when the talent comes in hand. Hopefully you are in a store
with a large exit area, lots of aisles, a
nd they all should be busy.. The
best days are Saturdays, midday, on a cloudy or overcast day, when the most
people are in the store. The aisles will be backed up, and all available
employees will be running the registers. At this point you have to get out
your receipt from another trip, or one that you find in the area. Scan the
store before entering, looking for a nice long one, that is in good
condition. If you got one in hand, proceed past the registers and to the
front to the store. The busier th
e store, the more confused the employees
will be. You may be spotted by a bag-person, and they will ask you if you
want help taking the groceries to the car. If they ask this, gladly tell
them yes, and have them push the cart out and into your car. Give em a
tip, 50 cents or so. They will like that. If no clerks are around, go to
the doors and exit. Make sure that you have the receipt in your hands.
The reason this works is that the people who work at these places are
usually only concerned with what
is going on in their lane, and no where
else. If it is really busy, then the front end management will be running
around making voids and even running registers if it's busy enough. If a
cashier sees you pushing your cart full of groceries around, with receipt
in hand, they will assume that you have been checked out and are looking
for help taking the cart out, or you are on your way out. Rarely will a
cashier ask you what you are doing. They all assume that someone else did
the checking on you, and yo
u are leaving under good terms.
Okay, you've read the details, and I have made it sound fairly easy.
That's because I have left the hard part out! If you noticed, the
groceries haven't been bagged, which will look VERY suspicious if you try
to push them out of the store. This is where the real skill comes in. In
the process of filling your cart you have to bag the groceries. No one can
see what you are doing. This becomes a real problem because this method is
used at peak hours when the store
fullest. One way I bag the
groceries is to bunch up the bags at the bottom of the cart, so I can place
the groceries on top of them, and when no one is looking, pull the sides of
the bag up and around the groceries. You may be able to come up with your
own methods for doing this. A simple way of bypassing the bagging is to
get groceries that don't need to be put into bags, such as bottles, beer
(suspicious), large boxes, etc. This all depends on what kind of layout
the store has, and how full the store
is. Another thing that may be of
assistance to you is some stores have a "lobby" entrance at one side of the
store. In these stores you may be able to avoid the front end all
together, and push the cart around the magazine rack, or whatever the
particular store may have, and out the side door. Whatever you decide to
do, you can't be hesitant. You have to be utterly convinced that what you
are doing is FOOLPROOF. If you have the slightest doubt in your mind that
you will get snagged, don't do it! It i
sn't made to be executed by people
without any balls (sorry if any girls are reading this, you obviously don't
have any balls in the physical sense).
If you are questioned by someone in the store... well if you are
stopped before you exit the front doors, act like you are looking for
someone to ring you up. Act foreign, act retarded, just play STUPID!
Don't ever admit or act like you know what you were really doing. Ask the
person who is questioning you where you have to go to pay for your
groceries.
If you are good, though, you can act like you paid for them and
BS your way into the parking lot. But, if they ask to see your receipt,
you are screwed. At this point, if they are about to get REALLY
suspicious, then make a scene. Scream "why am I always treated like an
idiot whenever I step into your shitty store! All I want to do is shop!",
etc., etc... There is nothing worse to an employee than being yelled at by
a customer in front of other employees and other customers. This will
al
