My guess is most of them work downtown and stop in the restaurant/bar to wait out traffic before driving home. And all the employees seem to drive to work. Plus

My guess is most of them work downtown and stop in the restaurant/bar to wait out traffic before driving home. And all the employees seem to drive to work. Plus the multitude of (baseball, basketball, arts & entertainment, convention center) venues around. At first I just considered the parking hassles a "free-wifi tax" but then they added a second popular sandwich shop/bar next door and it just snowballed from there. Oh, and I lost the free-wifi benefit so now it's all just pure hassle.
