I'm not a fan of vouchers
Either you can afford to go out and eat, or you can't.

Also, for restaurants where 'service charge is included' the poor sap working for minimum wage ends up doing more work for less money (unless you tip over and about the money they've already charged you for service).

I tend to use purple beer vouchers to pay for my food.

What if the voucher was the difference between you being able to eat out or eat at home as per usual?

See my earlier answer.

No.
Why shouldn't someone be able to go out to a restaurant rather than sitting in or merely going to a pub, when voucher would enable them?

He's being an idiot, I'm on your side.
Also known as the right side.

Maybe he's trying to show that he's not as cheap or poor as the rest of us.
Hmmm...

No.
I'd use a restuarant so cheap, they'd not be able to offer any sort of promotional voucher and still make money.

And if it's a BYO, even better. I could get a date a can of warm, own-brand lager.

I dated a lager once,
frigid.

And the restaurant is happy to give you the voucher
because it's a way to promote themselves. They prefer you going with the offer than not going at all.

Sorry.
I was answering the question on a 'date' basis, not a feeding yourself basis.

The two are completely different.

included service charge annoys me
tipping shouldn't be mandatory.

but the reason the pub or restaurant is doing the voucher
is to entice customers in, surely?
