      most f & b is fine... reputable ones... reason is that they have the capacity to accomodate so many customers \"known as Groupon Crowd\".


      anyway, if u r like me, bought some korean restaurant voucher and couldnt seem to get thru phone and went down only to see they are closed down! and another time buying a double boiler and paid for delivery only for them to deliver a faulty one and i had to go all the way to some ulu service center for exchange! not mentioning another overly priced mothers day gift which looks like $5 quality but quoted $50 value? spa vouchers that cannot be used as it states \"for new customers only\" when i dun even know i had been there before due to different company name and address but under same owner... who will know right?

      i simply had enough... u may think i m plain unlucky, but for so many times, i dun think so.. though i still look thru their site sometimes, i had to constantly remind myself not to fall into the \"trap\" again... i do not actually blame the merchants, as i happened to know 1 of the coupons bought was a new biz of a friend when i was redeeming it... beautiful pic of discount painted, but underlying assurance that groupin give the merchant is that \"u just have to do this this this, that that that, and there shouldnt be any loss made on your end...\" and it is all the \"this this this, that that that\" which makes the deal different from what is \"painted\" in the fine print...

      not to mention getting a refund from them is like super hard... harder than winning lottery...


      Wow.....u r super unlucky.

      let bygones be bygones... no more falling into traps...

                United Square. We didn’t call ahead.


                DD and DS have enrichment classes there on weekends. Class over at 11, but restaurant didn’t open till 11:30. So we were the first to be seated. Can see quite a few tables reserved.

                        I bought a music program for my dd. Quality sucks and i had an argument with the counter staff. They treated us like some kinda of \"cheapo\". Honestly if they have done a great job, we would have stayed on. They kept changing teachers. the whole system is great marketing but sadly, the vendors ain't doing themselves justice by doing a shabby job. Spoken to a few parents and the center and they were equally disappointed. Sigh

                        Hi, Groupon is having this deal for music lesson which I will like to buy it for my child, but I don't know if it is the same one that you mentioned. Could you pm the name to me? Thanks.
