Tonight at 4pm i called the restaurant 'La Pinata' mexican restaruant.
Asked to reserve a table for 5persons at 19h30.
I had a vouher for CHF 224- for 4 person and I understood we will pay for the 5th person.
I read the fine print:

I indicated if all ok, and I have a Groupon coupon, and said oui oui.I asked where there location was, they said in Junction. Regardless, I didnt see any reason why I had to tell him this as i also experienced Groupon descrimination or 2nd class treatment in past. i don't see that I first had to say I must indicate that im a client with Groupon. Further not indication that I must reserve 24hours before, because clearly says booking required and upon availability. But when I arrived i was told they dont have the reservation and that my voucher must have a 24hour before reserveation.
So I said really, are you joking, I just called 3hours before.No way they can say the conditions are any different that what is on the voucher. And that I will let everyone know that they dont honor the clear conditions that they agreed to on groupon voucher. This is just stupid business cents that they did this. Further we had no problem with the 5th person and alcohol, etc.
now, this is not the first time I find the Groupon 'vendors' indicate something different than what is on the vouchers. Further I tried twice before with Groupon and they do treat Groupon clients with 'descrimanating' lower standards. But these vendors are either just rubbish vendors, bottom feeders, or where are the really good vendors who really want to show case there restaurant?
These only exist with Buyclub, the treatment is 200% better, i use buyclub and 1 out of 20 was i disapointed.
I will personally never use Groupon again, and now I must struggle to get my 2 coupons reimbursed frmo Groupon. I am sure this will be a headache.
