"Security, please report to the front of the store for a Code 22"

[dwell]

Anyone ever hear these fake security messages they play over the PA at stores? Who do they think they're fooling?

'fake' security messages? I heard something similar at a pharmacy when the money truck was there...

 

[theflyingpig]

In my store, security comes running whenever they hear the screams of my victims. Everyone knows this.

 

[Kalmah]

The only reason I would play attention to these intercom messages is if I was guilty of something..

I always liked the name dwell.

But yes I hate those codes they all read over the intercom to make you think they could jump you at any minute even though you've done nothing wrong. The other day I was at JC Penny looking for a ski mask (they didnt have any, you cant find 'em anywhere) and I figured out the code for someone wanting help checking people out at the registers. The lady said something to the effect of "Code 225 on 916. Code 225 on 916." I then noticed that she had seven people in line at her register and needed help.

If I see another one of your damn replies ending with "everyone knows this", I'm going to hit you with the belt.

I use to work in an Advance Auto Parts. We had a code that we would use on the loud speaker. Whenever a hot girl would come into the store, we would get on the PA and say, 747 at Batteries or where ever this hot girl was. This would allow the other employees a chance to check her out. Hey, it gets lonely in the auto parts store dealing with idiots who don't know a fuel pump from a water pump.

Go ahead and try. I'll rip your arms off, little boy. Everyone knows this.

Why do you think they are fake messages? Maybe they actually do have codes. Hospitals use a color code system for example and I hear it fairly often over the intercom "code blue, code blue [location]" (cardiac arrest) sometimes code yellow (missing patient).

Code whites are always fun too. Usually those involve security personal running to said location.

They're definitely fake, at least the ones I am talking about. They are looped over the muzak. If you stay in the store long enough you'll hear them repeat. Just meant to scare of kiddie shoplifters, I guess.

I've observed employees in big box stores that seem more concerned about security cameras than customers. They make me think that management personnel are more concerned with employees loafing or stealing than shoplifters.

Highway flaggers have a code too. If there is a pretty woman coming through in say a Ford truck, they'll say, "watch out for the hay in the Ford truck".
The first time I heard it I asked why they used that. They said because the woman is so cute she makes you go "hey!".

I worked at Office Max and we did the Code 60 on aisle #+2. so 3 is really isle one. We didnt say the actually isle cause the girl would start looking around at us lol.

Stores lose more money to internal theft than to shopping lifting hence the cameras pointing at work areas or cash registers etc etc.

 

[alkemyst]

they work actually...what were you stealing?

I was an intern in a pharmacy at the time, they called out a code.

Next thing I knew I was asked to confront them.

I was stacked at the time back in the early 90's.

competed in martial arts, racked and stacked.

They'd just drop there take and leave.

Unfortunately most of the loss came from 'welfare' cases getting truckloads in their Lexus/MB/BMW/Hummer SUV of baby goods free.

While the store was paid, our economy suffers.
