Is this Coles ‘Markdown Guy’ the nicest man in Australia?!

The story behind this T-bone discount is the best! - by Nikki Black
  • 14 Feb 2019

Who doesn’t love a good discount, right?

Well one Aussie shopper has revealed her run-in with a Coles ‘Markdown Guy’ - and he just might be the nicest man in Australia!

Is this Coles ‘Markdown Guy’ the nicest man in Australia?!

Sharing her story with the awesome Markdown Addicts Australia Facebook page, follower Jasmin told of her encounter - and it just might be the best thing you read today.

Revealing how she came to own a pack of T-bone steaks slashed to just $6, she writes: ‘Was at Coles near where I work this morning and saw the mark-down guy doing his thing so made a joke with him that I was stalking, and we had a laugh. 

‘I got a few things and went to the self checkout with my purchases, next thing I know the mark-down guy was standing next to me and offered me this wonderful packet of T-bones, saying he had just marked it down and thought I would want it. 

‘I was all “hell yeah!!” Excellent man!’

She added: ‘I love it too, and he told me when he'd be back, so i'll go check out what he's got on Friday!’

Excellent man is right! The story got the tick of approval from the other Markdown Addicts, who all agreed that it ‘pays to be polite!’

‘That’s lovely,’ wrote one. Said another: ‘Well done, bargain!’

Said a third: ‘I love it when they are friendly, but once I got a filthy side eye off a Woolies markdown lady!’

Woah. Moral of the story? If you see a Coles or Woolies employee doing markdowns, put on a smile and be extra polite - it just might land you an A-grade markdown!

And for more bargain advice, make sure you’re following the guys at Markdown Addicts Australia - you’ll love it!
