Amusing text message full of emoji

I hardly ever use emoji. I found this shop offer that I received today via text message to be quite amusing because of the amount of emoji. It kind of makes it look scam-like in my opinion, because scam texts often use a lot of emoji.

She left only one out. I think she used all the others...lol

Shopping Arkansas, Louisiana, & Mississippi.
I must be getting old because my brain does not want to process the text when its cluttered with emojis like that.
Same! It made me not want to do the shop. Like I told my small children: "Use your words."

My experience is "play to your audience".

Most of the posters here seem to be out of their 20s. That text seems to probably have been sent from a 20 year old to their peers.

Honestly, I believe mystery shoppers are a dying breed.

I don't think kids today will jump through the hoops we won't to make money.

Maybe I'm wrong.

I've seen some other merchandisers in my area, I'd estimate them at late 20's - early 30's. Maybe their brains can process it. My 12 year old has a group chat with some of her friends, and they actually don't do tons of emojis but a lot of acronyms.
And yes, I read my kids' apps/texts periodically in case anyone is wondering.
Consider how a legitimate business would represent itself. With the decreasing compensation and increasing scams, sometimes you have to learn when you're too young to know any better.
