Alice Bopp, the owner of Muni's Coffee Joint in Lindenhurst, started a wall of Post-it notes in her shop in October. Customers can pay for a coffee and then add a note to the wall. Then other customers can take the note to the counter to receive their free drink. Credit: Newsday / Chris Ware/Chris Ware
