EDIT: I left a word out. I meant to say the SAME people who don't pay their bills. These are the people who need to go to places like that. They don't save any of their money, they spend it impulsively, which leads them to debt. The businesses you mentioned merely capitalize on a behavioral pattern. Businesses that spring up without knowing whether or not there's a pre-existing market aren't going to stick around long, so it's unlikely that the businesses that cater to the clients pre-dated the clients themselves.
I don't know about GR, but where I work in West Nashville, I can think of 7 such places without even trying. They have been here for years. Not that this city is a direct reflection of our country, but in my 40 years of living in several states and Europe, Nashville is a pretty good slice of American life. With the rich, poor, black, white and the rest of us that fall in between, and it doesn't look promising from here.
And now I got people whispering " Amero", in my ear.
