    The last two times I've been in Wal*Mart, I heard them announce a "code yellow" over the PA system. Anyone actually know what that means (aside from jokes that you think are funny but really aren't that funny)?

    I'd be labeled a "racist" if I told you what it means. Damn PC police.

    It means the yellow smiley is on a rollback binge and all employees in the hunting section must grab the harpoon guns and throw him back in his cage before the whole store is free.

    Eh, i worked in a retail store that had codes like that.

    Honestly, 90% of them meant absolutely nothing.

    The PA-announcement that i love the most is "Security scan to section L".

    That means one of the old ladies who works in the craft department think they saw someone shoplifting a box of rolo's. They try to scare you by acting like there's some camera that will SWEEP the area of the shoplifter.

    We had codes like that at Disneyland, but our anti-shoplifting methods were extremely efficient. We'd keep sending people to act nicely to the shoplifters that they'd freak out and drop everything.

    Code Yellow is a spill. Code Orange is a chemical spill.

    Of course not! That's just what they say it means...but really, it means the nuclear bomb they've been building is almost ready.
