Wow, I was the exact same way! I'd delete those texts immediately, convinced they were phishing. But last month mine flagged a weird online subscription I didn't recognize, and it showed the company name and asked if it was me. Clicked "no" and it was gone. Totally changed my view on them.

Ever try a heating pad on low?

What kind of content did that coffee shop post to build that crowd, @wright.dakota? When I helped my friend's bookshop, we stopped just posting covers and started sharing short, funny quotes from different books each day. It took a few weeks, but people started coming in to find the "quote of the day" book, and that steady habit worked better than any single sale post.
