      <![CDATA[Faith, the ironic thing is that Groupon (the company) has NEVER turned a profit. It's stunning, really--they are essentially toll collectors, yet they're so bloated with overhead and marketing that they are in the red every quarter.

      <![CDATA[At this point the money I've saved using Groupons has been cancelled out by the ones I've let expire. My own fault there, but at this point I no longer give into the impulse-buy when I see see some random deal for a place that wouldn't normally interest me. Groupon has hit a ridiculous point of saturation, but I'll snag one once in a while it it's a restaurant I genuinely enjoy and visit often.

      <![CDATA[It sure doesn't do any favors for the food server community since a lot of coupon users tip based on the price after the coupon, not the price withut the coupon whiich they are supposed to use. Folks, you don't get any less service just because you use a coupon.
