MM#2: Glorious Groupon (Updated)

How can you not love the questions (and answers) page for popular Groupon deals? I'm just gonna copy and paste a bunch of them (from the same offer) here after the jump and let you guess which one was my question. No prizes for guessing correctly.


Q: Can you use this at any Ihop or only at the three listed on the right hand side?

A: Hi Suchnsuch1, Only the ones are listed on this Groupon will be accepting the vouchers. Thanks! (Answered by Courtney R.)

Q: Says only valid at the listed locations. But I don't see a list?

A: Hi Suchnsuch2, The only IHOPs that will be accepting these vouchers are 9099 Metcalf Ave. Overland Park, Kansas 66212, 4149 Sterling Ave. Kansas City, Missouri 64133, and 12128 S US Highway 71 Grandview, Missouri 64030. Thanks! (Answered by Courtney R.)

Q: Is this IHOP coupon available for use in Independenc, MO. Only 3 locations were listed? Thank you.

A: Hi Suchnsuch3, Only the three locations listed will be accepting this Groupon. Thanks! (Answered by Courtney R.)

Q: Which locations is this good for in the Kansas City area?

Q: just for the listed locations?

A: Hi Suchnsuch7, Just the locations that are listed are the locations that will accept the Groupons. Thanks! (Answered by Courtney R.)

Q: Courtney R., while your answers are numerous and gracious, I'm not entirely sure I 100% understand if this offer is available at any location or if it's only at the 3 listed ones. I absolutely must know if I can use this Groupon at another location that isn't listed on the deal page. Thank you for your response that is sure to follow, Courtney, and if I may, I'd like to follow up my first question with another. If you answered "No" to my first question, would you please let me know if I can use this Groupon at a different location that also isn't listed on the deal page? I mean, I know it's still not listed in the 3 that are available for this offer, but it's a completely different location than the one I had in mind for my first question. I'd really like to use this offer at that one if I can't use it at the first one. Come to think of it, I have a third location in mind as well. What about that one?

Unfortunately, there's been no response to this last question(s).  I can't imagine what the reply would be, though.  I guess we'll never know.

Update on 01-06-13:

Good news and bad news.  Good = I got a reply and my Q is posted on their page; bad = it wasn't from our Courtney friend, so the continuity isn't there.

A:  Sorry for the confusion. This Groupon can only be used at the locations listed here (link).  (Answered by Annette)

Thanks for clearing up my confusion, Annette.

Full credit to the Courtney who so graciously held her tongue and responded to each question. If that was my job to respond to questions like that, I'd likely be fired before lunch on my first day. Actually … if anyone knows of a place that would like to hire someone to respond to questions all day via email/text and has no problem with biting sarcasm directed at those deserving of it, please post it in the comments below. That could be a match made in Heaven … or Hell, as it were.
