Stores, hospitals, and other places where the public are present in large numbers, uses secret codes to pass information between store employees without alarming the non-staff members and common people.
Here's the list of Top 6 Secret Codes
PICNIC / ID-10T
In computer maintenance and support, a variety of codes are used when referring to a customer. PEBKAC ("Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair" and PICNIC ("Problem In Chair Not In Computer") or ID-10T error ("Idiot error") are also used as slang in technical circles with similar potentially derogatory meaning.This usage implies a lack of computer savvy, asserting that problems arisen when using a device are the fault of the user. “The fault was a PICNIC” (problem in chair – not in computer), or “ID 10 T Error” – ID 10 T is, of course, IDIOT. Keep your ears open when a serviceman is fixing your computer.
