That's a good point to consider - it must be hard for a waitress / waiter to swallow that their evening will take a pay cut because their boss has decided to get into social advertising.
- hvs 15y agoShe/he shouldn't have to. Groupon customers should be tipping on what the full amount would've been without the Groupon.
- Bud 15y agoThe onus could just as fairly be applied to Groupon itself as to its customers; shouldn't Groupon be helping the restaurants it does business with, by encouraging/reminding customers to tip servers fairly, and not harm the staff of its business partners?
- 3am 15y agoThey encourage that prominently in several places, including this message on the actually coupon voucher: "*Remember: Groupon customers tip on the full amount of the pre-discounted bill (and tip generously). That's why we are the coolest customers out there." I've got no lost love for GroupOn, but this massive pile on/proof by anecdote thing is not a dignified moment for HN.
- contactdick 15y agoAgreed she/he shouldn't have to but from one everyone is saying it sounds like that is the reality.
