Abigail asked if anyone else feels guilty using Groupons? She’s specifically referencing the local deals, restaurants or services that are available on Groupon deals. She has a kind heart to worry that she may be causing a loss for the seller of such deals. If I use a service and it’s a good experience, I’d plan to use that service again. For a restaurant, I’m careful to tip on the pre-Groupon cost. When you add drinks and maybe dessert, the restaurant made its money. A number of restaurants in my area seem to offer these deals again and again. I doubt they’d do this if they lose money on these deals.
