Post subject:  Cooking.com - how to not encourage business

:x

Having recently participated in Cooking.com's request to fill in their survey for the promise of 10% off my next order the following disclaimer greeted me AFTER I was finished:
Quote:

Any guesses on how likely I am to fill in the next survey or to use this code???

I hope you let them know how disappointing this is.....of course, if they put this disclaimer up front, no one would fill out the survey.

Wino,

You should fill out the next survey ... and the next .... but deliberately mess the answers. Screw up their stats! We'll help.

Brilliant idea, Fuzzy. Arriana Huffington always says, "lie to the pollsters." I'm in.
