The next time they shop at Kaufland, Lidl and Co., customers should listen carefully.
The announcements sometimes contain important information that could also be of interest to customers.
“FuD” – driving under the influence of drugs, “UT” – unknown perpetrator or “P101” – residence check: some people have probably heard these and other abbreviations from a police officer in Germany.
Because when officers are on duty, every second counts.
Of course, this also affects the language.
In everyday life, officers therefore use numerous abbreviations to communicate with the department and with each other.
But the abbreviations also serve to disguise the intention behind what is being said.
But it’s not just the police who use this “cover-up tactic”.
Supermarkets like Kaufland and discounters like Lidl, Aldi and Co. also use secret codes.
At Lidl, Kaufland and Co: This is what the codes in the announcements mean
Anyone who often goes shopping at Kaufland, Lidl and Co. has probably heard the mysterious announcements like “01” or “the 18 to 7”.
But what does that mean?
After all, the sometimes wild number and letter combinations that echo through the market through loudspeakers must have a meaning.
According to “derwesten.de”, some numbers can represent employees, others perhaps represent a department or location in a supermarket or discounter.
Even information that not every customer should know immediately can be hidden in the form of codes.
The staff then knows about it and can react quickly.
But what codes are there and what do they mean?
Here is an overview:
01 stands for house manager
02 for food department manager
Number 7 or 17 could represent a bathroom break
“18 to 7” could mean a cashier needs to go to the bathroom
Customers who know these codes can really save
But “secret codes” and abbreviations are not only used for announcements.
Customers also often come across sequences of letters or numbers on price tags.
Anyone who knows them can really save money.
The “T” on the signs stands for daily inspection.
Products marked in this way are usually reduced at closing time.

“TS” for “Saturday daily inspection”, on the other hand, means that these goods are only delivered fresh on Saturday and therefore old goods are reduced – by 80 percent.
However, this type of labeling with “T” and “TS” should only be available at Lidl.
