The customer service from groupon (UK) is horrific. Dealing with them is a nightmare, they go out of their way to employ the most unhelpful, incompetent staff I've ever encountered. Please google, hurry up and bring google offers to the UK so that I don't have to deal with these monkeys!!

Discount sites like Groupon are sure to fail because their model preys on desperate businesses. They may be profitable, but it simply isn't sustainable. They persuade desperate businesses to offer steep discounts, and then take half the face value of any coupons sold. The business is left with a loss, and Groupon profits by doing nothing more than taking advantage of one's desperation. These leeches can't fail soon enough for me.
