It seems Living Social is well aware of Mr. Grove's business complaints and lack of follow-through.\n  \nI had an immediate refund with no questions asked from Living Social.  This isn't a good sign for the future of Slade Grove Creative Gourmet.  I doubt they will promote another special of his, and it seems he already burned bridges at another \"coupon\" site. \n\nI also mis-spoke about the tax being charged to my AMEX.  It didn't show up on my monthly statement.  I guess he didn't have time to make the caramels so he didn't have time to charge for the tax.
