Supermarket Tannoy Announcement...

This morning when in Asda (for the first time out of four today Angry) there was a tannoy announcement asking for Kirstie Allsop to go to the General Office.

I don’t know if we have an actual staff member called Kirstie Allsop or if this is a tannoy code. I’m assuming code but no clue at all what it means!!! Craft emergency???

Could just be a staff members name. Tom Jones used to manage the beers, wines & spirits aisle at the Sainsbury's I worked at.

Probably just a staff members name. Confused

Don’t know but our Sainsbury’s often call for Katie Perry to go somewhere or other.

Justine Greening was called to the Customer Service desk at Morrison’s last week.

Clean up in the Home Made Crap aisle?

We have an actual Barry White working at our local Tesco. Always make me smile when I hear it on the tannoy

To be fair though any ex-cabinet ministers could actually be working in Morrison’s now, so....

We have an actual Barry White

I just wouldn’t be allowed near the intercom system because I’d end up doing it in a deep sexy voice. realistically sounding like a croaking frog Grin

We used to have to call 'Mrs Robinson' when I worked in a supermarket and a card flashed up as stolen or missing.

Did laugh in Primark once when the tannoy said 'Can Claire go to the customer service desk please? Thats Fat Claire' Grin

We used to make them up at the Sainsbury’s I worked at for the customer service to read out the Favourites were Min Gheeta (childish😂) and Paul Mycock

Its their code!

@sitranced Tom Jones was the examiner when I passed my driving test...

In my nervousness I asked him if people sang Delilah at him much. He sighed resignedly and said ‘It’s not unusual’ Blush

Amazed he passed me after that!

WhoGivesADamnForAFlakeyBandit · 03/12/2018 19:28

‘It’s not unusual’ Grin oh dear!

Our detection equipment used to be serviced by Tony Blair.

My DD goes to school with a Tom Jones and Alex Ferguson so safe to say these are names that could be called out over tannoys in the future!!

chemenger · 03/12/2018 22:26

I went to school with a Gary Cooper, who never shot anyone at high noon and a Peter Cook who did not have a friend called Dudley Moore. I’ve also taught a Joan Crawford, who was not feuding with Bette Davis.

FrazzyAndFrumpled · 03/12/2018 22:28

Gordon Bennett manages the shopping precinct in a town I used to go to occasionally Grin

BarbaraofSevillle · 03/12/2018 22:28

Our Morrisons used to have a Mr Gotobed who was frequently tannoyed.

I know it is a real name and to my shame I found it amusing, poor man.

BarbaraofSevillle · 03/12/2018 22:30

I know of another Gordon Bennett Frazzy and I had an ex work client called Gary Barlow.

AdaColeman · 03/12/2018 22:33

Miss Nightingale is often used for a first aider.

HildaZelda · 03/12/2018 22:37

I ALSO worked with a Gordon Bennett @Frazzy & @Barbara.
That man gets around! Confused
