The offering is very hit or miss. Obviously, that's not the platforms fault. It does feel like some of the vendors are taking the piss.
I've had everything from total disappointment to "they could've given me a third of what I got and I would've been happy".
Still worth trying out to see what's on offer in your area.
Exactly. The platform
at least as a user
is great. However, the vendors do often give out... Well, garbage. Hit or miss, as you put it.
I've found a few places nearby that have some pretty solid offerings, to be honest, but I've been disappointed a couple of times as well...
Yeah, I've tried a bunch of places at first but now I have 4-5 favorite ones that always have good stuff. Some restaurants seem to use the app more as advertisement to get more people visiting, but I think that's fair too when they offer a meal for half the price in return. Also I never got any bad deals, it was always a good bargain even if I didn't end up liking what I got. It's kind of a plus for the app actually in my opinion because that I tried many new places that I'd normally not care about just because they were in the app, and I found some really nice ones this way.
My worst bag ever was full of rotten fruit and veg and I've never gone back to that vendor. In all fairness to TGTG, after I spent 3 minutes submitting a complaint in the app they refunded me in full.
