cliffs on groupon>?

i don't blame groupon but i do blame the concept for some shit experiences i've had.

you never get whats advertised or you get the absolute minimum delivered in a shit way. They treat you like shit because they are making a loss but seem to have completely failed to realise the point of their loss leading promotion. I now slag off all the palces to anyone who will listen and so it costs them business.

I've complained about the last 3 things we've had and am still awaiting any satifactory response from the first complaint which was 4 weeks ago.

Oh Dear, I hate the sound of unhappy customers... :-(
I haven't even managed to secure myself a position there yet to be even able to assist or apologise on their behalf for that matter!
Have you tried Living Social? I know that they are another company promoting themselves in a simular way!
Perhaps to get a result in my opinion would be to go direct to the consumer and complain... GroupOn are only offering a service on behalf of their client - maybe what your dissapointed with, needs to be dealt with directly??

good luck. it's 8 weeks since my original complaint. the latest 9 day wait is my follow up

Sighballs :-( Interview was going pretty well until they started asking me maths questions!!! It took me 3 times to get a C! And I surely didn't know that was coming! :-(

Feedback tomorrow - i have a magic bean with Stu that I didn't get through to round 2 of the interview process!

PS please don't ask me what the maths questions were - simply embarressing!! lol

No chance, we were in town last night and saw some road works next to The Sony Centre where I used to work. She just wouldnt grab the other side of the fencing to chuck through the window whatever I said :-(

[MrsHopkino]

No I'm a good girlie like that ;-) Feedback from GroupOn will be received today! I'm having doubts towards this one now.
Onwards and Upwards...

Giant Ponzi scheme.

I've always had decent enough experiences from it though.

[MrsHopkino]

I didn't get through to the second round of the GroupOn Interviews, obviously lacking Maths skills!! :-(

Never mind!! I received 3 more job rejections today, this job hunting is proving to be harder than it looks. Though I'm still plodding along and hopeful!!

I've even tried to persuade Mr Hopkino to stick me on a plane for a few days to get away from it for a bit!! Ibiza me thinks ;-) we'll see. . . can't seem to find any decent / cheap flights to go on Thursday. I know a out there so thought it might bring the spring back to my step so to speak ;-)

Thanks Cos for giving me authorisation in writing a diary :-)
I shall continue to bore peeps of my job search!! And time spent with the Hopkinator

[MrsHopkino]

So it turns out there will be no Ibiza trip, as the flights are far too expensive etc. Mr Hopkino kindly informed me this morning that one of hos mates sisters is looking for a part timer to workin a tanning salon, seeing as I'm White as a sheep I jumped at the chance and hope I get to be able to assist and tanned at thesame time :-)
On the job front I've applied to several companies I.e Gala and TDX Group to work as their Internal Rectuiment Consultant though I don't feel at the moment any company is in a hurry to have a closing deadline date and start interviews.... So I'm just waiting and applying to other things.
Pretty gutted I didnt get to stage two of GroupOn, as the job did sound like fun!! :-(
Mr Hopkino and I go away to Paris next weekend and I've managed to persuade him that we should go Euro Disney, as I've been a couple of times before and its lots of good fun!! So if anyonehas any recommendations of places to go please let us know!!
