Walmart Workers: What is Code 15?

AZSpeechCoach · 07-01-2005, 04:48 AM

As my wife and I made a midnight run to Walmart to get last minute supplies before our trip to San Diego tomorrow, an announcement came over the PA: "All overnighters, code 15. Code 15. Emphasis on the 15." What was this tool talking about?

Young Drachma · 07-01-2005, 04:51 AM

hmm...maybe they need to rustle up carts?

Get to the registers, we've got a deluge of customers?

Someone is stealing shit, get the guns out of the back?

I know 3 people who've worked there, but they're all asleep

Probably means the managers coming 'look busy'

Not sure, we had codes when I worked at Wal-Mart, one of them was used to indicate known shoplifters in the store, like someone had seen someone walk off with some stuff. Might be that.

Means a customer found the heart of Wal-mart and they had to be taken out..

when I worked at Shaws, the guys would page me with a code 7. it meant: "hey come down here, there's a hot chick in the department"

The way it sounds, it sounds like telling the overnighters that they can have a 15 minute break, with the emphasis on the # 15.. (When a friendof mine used to work there, they had him doing odd shifts, including a 6 pm-2AM

All of the official codes at Walmart are colors.

Code Adam is a lost child. Vexroid is wrong.

This was my favorite. I can't remember what our code was, but when I was working for a grocery store, one of the assistant managers could not be found when a smoking hot chick was up front, so after he found out about that we were trying to find him to share in the "moment," he instituted a code to be called whenever the situation arose.

Now I know why they had a code announced whenever I checked out in short shorts

NoMyths · 07-01-2005, 12:18 PM

Vexroid is correct...unless something has drastically changed, all codes at Walmart (besides Adam) are colors.

Red Team move out, disorderly female in aisle 5.

Homeland Security is on the way, herd the illegal immigrant janitors out the back and into the van.

Friend of mine used to work at a grocery store. Their code for hot chicks was "Raisins in aisle 5," or wherever she happened to be at the time.
