Walgreens
Okay so after a week of talking to my friend and a bit of āconvincingā this is what I managed to find out about employee policies:
Cameras are not actively watched unless the manager is just super bored - if thereās a manager on the floor youāre good to go. He also said something about the cameras not being a full streaming device butĀ āpictures in 15 second intervalsā??? IDK - assume youāre always on camera.
If thereās evidence something has been stolen (open package, clearly missing from display) they will check the cameras and identify who that person is. If itās a regular they will try to remember to question them about it the next time they come in. If youāre caught on camera concealing more than once, a picture of you is printed out and hung up in the break room. BLIND SPOTS PEOPLE.
The most stolen items: electronic toothbrushes, crackers (wtflol), formula, laundry detergent, and pregnancy tests.
They also use a ton of codes to speak to other employees without alerting other customers - he said depending on the store some of these could differ.
IC3 - (literally I See Three) when thereās 3 or more people waiting to checkout with only one open register they use this code to call another cashierĀ 6 - someone needs to cover the register because the employee needs a bathroom break or is about to go on break 10 - something with the restroom (if they need to be unlocked/cleaned for a customer) 20 - voided sale at a register (needs manager for key) 30 - returnĀ (needs manager for key)Ā 40 - change needed at a register (no customer is waiting) 44 - register pickup (I think this means when someone ordered something through site-to-store pickup) 45 - alcohol - manager needs to come to checkoutĀ because current cashier is too young to sell alcohol 50 - change needed (customer is waiting for their change) 60 - too much cash in the register 66 - manager needs to open safe for armored trucks 99 - AWARE OF SHOPLIFTER IN STORE AND MANAGERS ARE PREPARING TO TAKE ACTION - if you hear this get the fuck out because theyāre coming after you Red zone - cosmetics (Code 99 in red zone) Gold zone - electronics (Code 30 in gold zone) Code BLACK - Suspicious customer/activity. They will normally sayĀ āCode Black in Aisle 5ā³ if you hear this check where you are - if you happen to be where they called out DONāT PANIC! They donāt have evidence of you concealing - just being suspicious. He said this is used a lot to keep an eye out on groups of kids.Ā Code ADAM - missing child, stop concealing bc itās policy that every employee must immediately stop what theyāre doing and look for said child.
REMEMBER - this applies for a specific store so PLEASE take this advice with a grain of salt and use it at your own risk.
Went to Walgreens today and used this to decode the announcements. Sooooo helpful! I loved it!
