Businesses that care for and have legitimate roots in a community, don't need to lead hiring announcements with a statement that hiring a resident of #hamont somehow demonstrates a commitment to it. Truly amazed these things need pointing out.

The psychology of marketing is such an interesting thing. Receiving an "offer" from Starbucks that they'll give me extra โญ๏ธ if I complete a "challenge". Needless to say, the "challenge" is just buying enough stuff that I wouldn't otherwise be purchasing...
