I recently used my first Groupon and made a classic Groupon-Rookie mistake.
I forgot the Groupon.
I had printed it out weeks before and ran out of the house without it. After debating whether to go back home, pick it up and wrestle with parking again, my boyfriend, Ted, and I trekked around Dupont Circle looking for a FedEx Kinko’s. Our first stop was at a FedEx Kinko’s that only ships, but we were redirected around the corner, and successfully printed out the Groupon.
$0.78 later….we had our Groupon and were on our way to Current.

Hey grouponguru,
You’re not the first person to do that – I’ve done it myself. We’ll be working on ways to avoid that in the future with a mobile coupon you can present on your phone. I’ll just have to stop forgetting my phone at home…
Thanks for sharing your Groupon experiences with the world, love your blog!

Ken,
Glad you like the blog! I love everything about Groupon and am looking forward to sharing my experiences and hopefully spreading your product to even more people. The mobile coupon sounds like a GREAT addition!
I look forward to hearing from you all in the future!

This is too funny! Love what the Groupon guy had to say. You should definitely have some type of mobile display to show the restaurant. I bet the Fedex guy thought you were kind of odd taking pictures!
