I had an interview with groupon last week to write this sort of stuff. I would hate them too but need the work, which it looks like I haven't got. So, yeah, fuck them.

the companies often get fucked w/ Groupon.
― Bo Jackson Overdrive, Sunday, 11 March 2012 15:43 (twelve years ago) link
Groupon usually tries to keep 100% of the revenues from the groupon, but will occasionally be so kind as to split it 50/50. Their logic is "the customer almost always spends a larger amount than the value of the Groupon". which isn't always true.

Groupon copywriter loathes his job:
"Features7"x11" softcover photobook20 pages hold up to 150 failed self-taken profile picturesPhotos uploaded directly from Facebook albumsArranged in a theme of your choosingCrop and move photos within online photobook template"
http://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-ca-rexall-custom-photobook
Also contains sentence "photos you upload directly from Facebook albums or surveillance drones."

hah, once you notice that stuff like "Each album boasts a customer-chosen theme and holds photos that can be cropped and moved around in the most eye-pleasing arrangement" really starts to sound just as harsh

I think I've used this like twice in my life, but get so many emails. They seem to be really pushing these faintly scammy-looking lottery ticket broker websites recently
