Yep, I use the phone book too... most of the time it is faster. I may use my PC to look up/find something but a lot of times I get cookie/ads that come up that slow it down and then I have to wade through all the links that are not what I want. Sometimes I will search using my phone and sometimes that works good and sometimes not. Stinking old school phone book is faster.... sometime I even take the phone book with me in the car to town incase I need to go to multiple business. I think a lot of businesses are getting it wrong and going on line only with they ad $s but old school seems better. Like harborfreight they have their sale ads every week in the paper... I pull em out and save them, but if they send me a email..... I may or may not look at the email ad... most of the time I do not look at email advertisements. |

That is interesting about Groupon. It looks like something I am not missing out on much and won't ever get sucked into this with my business. The other issue is that the place using Groupon is making no money or even losing money. It is a loss leader to try and get new customers in but sounds like it is only appealing to the bargain hunters. A good equivalent for me are the people who bring in the Wal-Mart computers. There is a saying amongst people who work on computers about how we don't know if the Wal-Mart computers or the people who buy them are worse to deal with. This sounds about like the Groupon situation for others. An example of this just happened. It was a bad bad story where threats of violence were made or anything but a person wants me to pickup a laptop to fix. I don't know this before seeing it but it is a brand new unit from Wal-Mart. They paid my $35 upfront but didn't seem interested in fixing any of the issues I found. Basically it is slow and then loaded down with so much crapware from the factory it can't hardly keep up. She expects all the issues to be resolved for nothing and chooses to do nothing when I quote her a price. So I am taking the computer back with nothing really done. I picked it up, figured out what was wrong, and am returning it for $35. With time spent this job is a loss for me. I have to be careful not to let my bias make these Wal-Mart computer buyers a lower priority but am sure that is what is going on with the Groupon people. These places know they are worse customers so don't give them their best service. Conor |
