That is exactly the draw. Many folks (at least us) will order the lunch special (bogo, $5 burger, etc) at a restaurant, sit at the bar, kibitz with the bartender and have a beverage, usually alcoholic. They make up for the food revenue shortfall with the booze tab. They are in business and have expenses (salaries, etc) to meet while making a decent profit. Nothing wrong with advertising dine in only specials but they should specify that in the ad to avoid this kind of situation. IMHO.
