GROUPON - Stopped promoting firearm-related deals.

[socalcowboy]

I changed my setting to stop receiving GROUPON email, and I contacted them on why I am leaving their site. This is the response I got back.

Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us.

We understand that this is a sensitive topic, and that some of our customers may not agree with our choice to pause the promotion of firearm-related deals. Groupon has always aimed to offer a diverse range of products and services to meet the various tastes and interests of our subscribers. However, at this time, enough customers and merchants have voiced their opinions that we believe a hiatus is warranted.

Please note that we have never sold guns, and this hiatus only applies to firearm-related deals including shooting ranges, clay pigeon shooting, and concealed weapons training classes. We have not made a final determination regarding this category -- we are simply taking a break and may reevaluate in the future.

We genuinely appreciate your opinion and the feedback you've given us. I'll be sure to share your comments with the appropriate people.

Regards,

Morgan H
Groupon Customer Support

stupid!

I would start sending them links every single time there is a DUI accident where someone is killed. Ask them to pause their deals for wine/beer tasting. I swear that half the ones I get on the site I am on are for wine, beer, something like that.

See if they'd go for that...... :
