I have friends who work in restaurants that take Groupons and they HATE the people who come in for the Groupon specials. These are people who don't normally eat out and don't know how to behave when they do. Groupon is a site for bottom feeders--yes, it scares up a few dollars from people who wouldn't normally spend those dollars, but those folks aren't going to be repeat customers. Perhaps once the marketplace figures that out, Groupon will go the way of BlockBuster.
