That's especially crappy when there's no way everyone could get an appointment within the 30 days.

I walk past Pink Lime everyday and it doesn't have the look of a thriving business. Problem is, once a merchant got all the Groupon and Clones money and declares bankruptcy, the voucher holders are left holding the bags of useless vouchers.
I'm not saying Groupon and Clones, and their merchants are running a scam but if us outsiders can see it so clearly that you can't hire a massage therapist for $12.50/hr, why don't the merchants see the same?
Would it be that the merchants are so desperate that Groupon and Clones' cash injection is their last resort?
