I have a friend who's the general manager of a large restaurant in my neighborhood. They ran a Groupon special several months ago, and he told me they'd never run one again. It brought in people who didn't eat out often (who the fuck are they?), who didn't tip, and who were rude to the waitstaff. Everyone who worked in the restaurant hated it.
