Blasted $150 on a brand strategy workshop that was just buzzwords from 2015.

The guy spent half the time talking about "synergy" and never once asked what my actual product was, has anyone else sat through corporate nonsense that was basically useless?

$150 could have paid for 15 coffees with actual customers instead.

That "15 coffees with actual customers" line really hit me. I'll admit I used to be one of those people who thought "hey, free coffee for everyone, what's the harm?" whenever I saw a sign like that. But yeah, after reading your post I gotta say I was wrong about that. It makes total sense that you're basically spending money on people who might not even care about your business instead of people who are already there supporting you. I guess my thinking was more about just being nice and hoping it came back around somehow, but that's not really a solid plan for a small shop trying to make rent. You changed my whole view on this one in just one sentence.
