GroupOn, LivingSocial engaging in questionable practices
This should come as no surprise to anyone who has a business background or has ever worked in retail.<p>I have no doubt their business will continue to be successful, as b&m stores are, but I have serious doubt about their sustained growth prospects as the newness of their model wears off.  At some point Groupon is going to have to rely on the same sleazy sales tactics as b&m stores, which will turn off a majority of the early adopters.
