I'm not a believer in any press is good press, but I don't think this will be bad for groupon. The story made me say, wow, look at the numbers of people they get through the door. So many that it nearly sunk a little business - it's so successful that it's actually scary for a business. Groupon's excellent response here helps make the message positive as well.
Also, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. I can imagine Posie's will get a lot of support from their new customers by complaining to the press. And these customers will buy meals, be model customers, offer their condolences....and tip nicely.
