    Hit list from today:

    1. Old mate at Bailey Nelson that fixed my askew glasses perfectly in one try
    2. Old mate at Coles that couldn’t figure out why a “2 for” purchase wasn’t discounting, so he just gave me one for free
    3. Old mate barber that just knows what to do when I walk in and I think undercharges me

      Not to kill the vibe on number 2, but I think that might actually be store policy at colesworth. I remember a few years ago I went in and bought 2 chomps for a dollar, but they didn’t discount and each one scanned at 80 cents. I called the lady over (self serve), she called someone for a price check, and when they confirmed I was right, she gave me one for free and the other at the 50 cent discounted rate

      I remember reading somewhere a few months later that if your items scan at a higher price, they’ll give one to you for free. Although obviously that is contingent on you noticing before you press no receipt and walk out

      Still a good run though

        I’m familiar with that policy actually! In this case I’d picked up two different things from two separate “2 for” promotions without realising it, and in order to prove it he tried to scan them both twice each and that still didn’t give the discount. A that point I think he just said fuggit and set one to $0 haha.
