Having had a Groupon shouldn't preclude a business from offering other promotions. Typically you can't combine a Groupon with another offer, so if a restaurant has 20% off Mondays and you use a Groupon, they'll probably charge you full price and then subtract the Groupon. If people are truly unhappy with the FTD deal, then I'm sure Groupon will live up to The Groupon Promise and happily refund them.
The comment that this links to is much more disturbing, but it happens whenever you have a huge sales team. The real question is whether deals based on inflated prices are actually being sold. That would be alarming.
- acgourley 16y agoLook no further than the "2 dozen mini cupcakes for $25, normally $50, half off!!!" It's happening all the time, perhaps from Groupon's suggestion, perhaps from the merchants' own machinations.
- pchristensen 16y agoNot sure what the cupcake deal you're referring to is, but the cupcake place by my house sells a single cupcake for $3.50, so $50 for 2 dozen minis doesn't sound completely off.
- acgourley 16y agoMini's are usually half the cost of a fullsized, and buying 24 at a time should give you somewhat of a discount off buying a single.
