I really want to give this restaurant some free consulting. They have no expensive menu items to bring the average bill up, and they don't serve any desserts, and they do unlimited chips and salsa if you buy it for $4. I go in there and as a non-drinker it's almost impossible for me to spend more than $15. My wife says they don't care about me because they're more interested in selling booze, but I still think they're leaving a lot of money on the table by having a poorly planned food menu.

that's why I said I'd hate to be a server at BWW on a Sunday because it's just awkward...everyone is there to watch football and after they are done eating if they aren't drinking it's just...awkward. You have no idea if they need service, if they need a check, if they want another drink...
but it seems like you have all the principles down pat...regardless of how much you hate them!
I agree with you though...I used to laugh myself all the way to the bank as a server. It is a very, very flawed system.
