Transaction code 64 and other retail jargon

posted by John Lampard on Thursday, 1 January, 2009 at 11:07 am

A list of jargon terms used in Starbucks’ shops. While I have no idea what any of them actually mean, deductive thinking will suffice. For instance, could “Green Bean” refer to a new employee?

Anyway they look like official in-house terms, though I dare say a more informal list of code words also exists. As is the case, for example, at the local supermarket where I occasionally hear the term “transaction code 64″ used by the staff.

Enquiries have revealed the term is definitely non-business and refers to a customer who is… “favoured”.

Could “Impulse Stand” be the Starbucks’ equivalent? ;)
