I definitely believe this. I had a bad experience at a restaurant at which I used a Groupon simply because the food took a long time, the servers were constantly rushing around and couldn't attend to us, etc. Eavesdropping a bit, it was clear most of the customers there were using the Groupon and the place wasn't used to that kind of volume.

this. I bought a Groupon once for a small restaurant and among about 12 customers there was just a single one who ordered conventionally. The restaurant was at capacity and was really small but they sold around 8000 Groupons and when I visited a couple months have passed and it was still completely full with Grouponers. Even though it was cheap as hell (18 EUR all you can eat tapas for 2 people) I won't go back there because the food made me sick.

Usually happens during the first and the last week of the promotion. I learned my lesson, and if you time your visit anywhere in-between, you can generally get into the place on a low-volume day.
