What do you call the supermarket's yellow-sticker section?

That place in the supermarket where all the about-to-expire, discounted food goes - what do you tend to call it?
I refer to it as the 'yellow-sticker section'.
I've seen other Forumites call it the 'whoopsie aisle', 'compost corner' or just 'the reduced bit'.
Where do you stand?

Scrum section. Pre-pandemic, I've seen shoppers stealing YS from another shopper's trolley when her back was turned for example and heated argument. Doesn't happen at Waitrose, where YS remain in their original section. If you do an online order, Waitrose will give you the YS item free of charge if they don't have the full-price one in stock.3

Whoopsy in real life.

Reduced aisle.
Whoopsie sounds too much like something my dog does.
There’s a very nice chap who loiters by the bread and cakes bit at the appropriate time and often hands me a pack of cakes on my way past if he sees me. Not everyone turns it into a full on scrum.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

I once got to the till to find a YS convenience meal had dissappeared from my hand basket. Then remembered the woman behind me in the queue for the self checkouts had been standing uncomfortably close . .MrsStepford said:...

Bargain corner.I like to wind my father up by telling him that food just doesn't taste right without a yellow sticker on it
.No man is worth crawling on this earth.
So much to read, so little time.0 -
But how many shoppers will avoid the YS bargains to be had and buy full price items only to then throw them out as they are on their use by date in their own fridge....sometimes never having even been opened....?
