Wait a minute – what’s the code for zombies????
I believe that would be code “Gray” for gray matter, since they like to eat brains.
code grey.
Also: Why fear gypsies? You can make the cure for aids out of their tears. I learned that from Borat!
i have to know, That one dude, was your logic the same as mine? If so, whoa…
Because the gypsies they keep an eye out for can make inventory disappear with a skill that makes David Copperfield weep tears of envy.
We get Gypsies in at my job, they are almost always trying to pull some kind of scam or try to use conterfeit money. Also, things do tend to mysteriously vanish, more often than normal.
It’s very sad because I know not all of them are like that.
But CODE BROWN FTW! Lol.
Why does he get to be Code White? I want to be Code White!
Great since gypsies prefer to call themselves Romany, since that’s their cultural designation. Gypsy has a negative connotation to the Romany.
Gypsies also refer to Irish Travelers. It’s sort of a general term anymore.
Code Green – Irish
Romany is an ethnic group. Gypsy is a lifestyle. If a Romany family came into my store, wouldn’t care. If a pack of gypsies did, I’d close up shop until they left.
You probably live far from real romany. Believe me, if a true romany family came to your store, you wouldn’t be so careless.
If they have a code for just having Gypsies in the store, I don’t think they’re worried about offending them.
i don’t know what gypsies have *you* seen but the gypsies here hate being called Romany . they claim loud and clear[and violently too] that they’re gypsies :/
the gypsies must have got hepatitis, isn’t it?
Gypsies = long time association as set up near a town, hold carnival to entertain townsfolk, leave in the dead of night, town awakens to discover everything not nailed down is gone.
Not sure if they are racially related, but presently known in northern California to enter sales areas in groups, some to distract while others rip off any- and everything
We get it. It makes no sense for it to be real Gypsies, as they aren’t a big phenomenon in countries where an English language emergency button code would be listed in a retail location. I’m guessing that they mean those nomadic 18-year old homeless kids you see around here.
Code plaid = kilt wearers
Code Plum = the professor, in the Garden Center with a gnome
Very Good. My first true LOL in a long time.
Code Gold = WIN
I would have thought the Professor would have preferred Ginger or Mary Ann.
Where is the unicornbutton?
Code Silver of course. But we can’t be having unicorns in stores. They’d flip out. Too many boys and non-virgins.
Code Green for shoplifting gypsies?
Real Panic = Black Watch Plaid!
I have a British friend who didn’t understand the trouble we Eastern Europeans have with the gypsy minority. He thought “gypsy” just means a women who tells fortune or something like that, and was completely surprised to learn they are an ethnic group. sja’s comment largely covers the problem with the gypsy lifestyle. Also, until recently they didn’t even consider themselves an ethnic group, “Romani” just means “people” in some of their various languages. Anyway, it’s nice to see that some stores know how to deal with them
CODE YELLOW!!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!!
grandma, i didnt know you worked in retail!
Years ago I worked at a candy shop in a summertime tourist area and part of my training was what to do when the “gypsies” came into the store. We had a “gypsy phone tree” on the wall behind the register, and it was the responsibility of each business in town to call two others to warn them that they were in town. Never had the chance to meet any, but swear that I waited on Billy Crystal!
Blech, what code did you use to warn other people about him?
In New Orleans, we have roving bands of drag queens who shoplift. Seriously. There are phone trees just like that set up on shopping corridors and they can shut down a street in minutes!
Code yellow? Isn’t that the same as code blue? Oh wait, now it’s code white.
A cigányokkal mindenhol csak a baj van.
In defence of the code for gypsies – in my experience (and I’m in Europe. I assume this sign is from the US) it could be taken as Roma Gypsies ie. from Romania. They are known to come in to shops in large groups and steal a lot of stuff. I worked in the shop where they attempted to do this. We had no button but they got caught. But you can’t catch them, they just deny everything. But this still is shoplifting – they must just like a specific button!
TROLLING FTW
“Romani” is how gipsies asked to be officially called, a few years back, saying that the term “gipsy” had bad connotations. The Romanian state agreed to this and this is how it got coined. A couple of years later, realizing that this was easily mistaken with “Romanian” abroad, some officials tried to revoke the decision. Immediately, the gipsies’ representatives fought back with racism accusations, which made those officials drop the matter in an instant. And “Romani” it is and will remain.
This was taken at a Magic Mart in Norton, VA. I never knew that ‘gypsies’ were a problem there.
I do have cousins that are descended from Romanian Gypsies….and I don’t trust any of them, but that’s only from knowing them and seeing them steal or brag about stealing.
wouldnt the gypsy be code white, blue,yellow,and orange? and if they drop some it it’ll be code brown,and if someone pisses them off it’ll be code red
lol, code brown
Okay… that panel is probably in use here in Hungary.
Code lavender: Gay flying dragons wearing tutus eating hippos and shiting on ur doorstep
Code Invisible: Ninjas
If you don’t want this WTF to be ruined, then stop reading this.
“Gypsies” are what stores call people who say you gave them incorrect change, but are really trying to scam you. Say they buy something that costs $2, then pay with a 5, and then say that they payed with a 20 and demand $18 back, instead of $3. Generally if you bring out a manager they run away.
So they are not actually gypsies that have fairs outside of your town and tell you about your cats death.
