Coles Trolley Pusher Admired For Selfless Acts

A humble trolley pusher at Sydney Street Coles has become the unexpected hero of Mackay, earning heartfelt praise from shoppers for his selfless acts of kindness and unrelenting work ethic.

Local shoppers have taken to social media to express their admiration for Linden, a young man appearing to be in his late 20s with a signature Afro hairstyle and tattoos on his lower arms.

One shopper posted, “Every time I go to Coles, I see him helping elderly people with their groceries, taking trolleys so we don’t have to walk them back, and even walking staff to their cars late at night. He’s such a genuine guy.”

Another shared how Linden’s cheerful demeanour and helpful nature left a lasting impression. 

“In the short time I was there, I saw him help an elderly lady to her car, guide people out of their parks, and collect trolleys from cars - always with a smile!”

Rain or shine, Linden’s dedication doesn’t go unnoticed. Shoppers have remarked on the way he keeps trolley bays tidy, ensuring the area runs smoothly, regardless of Mackay’s often unpredictable weather.

One admirer summed it up best: “He works his butt off and makes the whole shopping experience better. I’ll be bringing chocolates and flowers for him next week - he deserves it.”

Linden’s efforts remind us that kindness and hard work can truly brighten a community. In a world that often feels rushed, it’s these small yet powerful gestures that leave a lasting impact.
