Hypno-Toad's Excellent Walmart Adventure

I'll probably still be chuckling at this one well into next week. C'mon, Hypno, get your story straight.
First, if you were in Aisle 6, why'd they page a "Code 6 to Aisle 12"? Well, you obviously meant to say, "Code 12 to Aisle 6". Except, Walmart doesn't use number codes. They're all colors, except for Lost Child, which is "Code Adam".
Furthermore, if a suspicious character is lurking around wearing a heavy coat and we're not in Fargo in the dead of winter, the page would go something like this, "Security, please scan and record department (whatever)". The page NEVER specifies an area.
As for the cameras, a high percentage of the big black balls are dummies. The new system, with the really small black hemispheres are ALL active. Very high-tech.
If a WalMart security person ever approaches you and you haven't done anything wrong, tell him or her to kiss your ass. I promise you they'll back away real quick. If they wrongfully grab you fall over and grab your back or in your case Toad, your little package, and ambulances and cops will converge on the scene followed by a Philadelphia lawyer and if, and only if, you're absolutely innocent, you may be able to install lights and running water in your mother's attic and still have money left over for a big plasma screen and a real bed. Whoa!
Yep, you guessed it, I work for Wallyworld. Eventually, so will everyone else. Relax, RESISTANCE IS FU-TILE!!!
