Groupon has a new internal video it has passed along to us, which discusses the company’s answer to Amazon Prime Air.
“While other companies drone on about their risky, experimental new methods of package delivery, only Groupon is looking forward…by looking back,” it says.
“The technology…it’s proven. It’s tested. We’re talking about principles of package delivery that have been around since the time of King Arthur,” says Everett Weiss, Groupon SVP Innovations. “Look, that guy knew something about keeping precious cargo safe.”
He adds, “Look, we’re a technology company, but we draw the line at creating autonomous robots that buzz by your house, wake up your sleeping baby, and who knows, take pictures of you while you’re in the shower? What Groupon is about is great deals, great service, and medieval catapults.”
I guess they still have their sense of humor after all.
Just woke from dream where I was back at Groupon and the stock was down because I had a spaghetti strainer on my head and couldnt get it off
