Hello Dr. Avallone,

I do not think Groupon will ruin retail as there are many people who do not use coupons. Now, I will admit that they do have some great deals but they are taken up very quickly. I have missed out on two rally good deals for Yoga classes and Pilates. This is coming due to the age of the economic shift we are in to stir the economy, I think. Like the article indicated, coupons have been around forever but people are using Groupon more because they have better deals.
