Former employee George Allen told Derby Telegraph what “code two” means.

George said: “Cleaner to menswear, code two” is “so cleaning staff know to expect a bodily fluid when they arrive at the mess.”

He added: “Urine and faeces on the shop floor is pretty common. There are even different cryptic announcements via the speakers”.

But it’s not all bad news – as George also shared some tips for Primark fans.

“If you want a customer discount at Primark, it’s very easy,” he said. “An item with any kind of slight fault or mark gets 10 per cent knocked off without debate if they ask for it, as I saw many times on the tills.

“But don’t take it too far or else you will end up in the Book of Faces.

“Behind the customer services desk on the third floor is a thick folder full of CCTV close-ups of the faces of customers who have nicked, conned or otherwise behaved badly in the store.

“I still see some of those culprits walking around the city and I wonder if they know of their notoriety.”
