Personally I love Groupon but I believe it is hindering brand loyalty and will mess with pricing for all services.

Its not going to introduce any new tactics that merchants haven't already employed for years. How about the store that has a 50% off sale, but marks up their products 30% before the sale to give the consumer a false impression of the extent of their savings. Also, merchants that run incredible deal ads and then use very fine print that limit the deal just so they can get people in the front door. Bottom line, its best to already have a good understanding of the product or service you'll be buying a Groupon for so you can immediately gauge how good of a deal you will be getting, and then make sure to read any exclusions that go with the deal.
