cinghiale Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Another depressing tale of late capitalism. Is this a real problem or just niche hyperbole? The piece does name-check big restaurants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orik Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Basically for $10/month you can use an automated tool that will get you the reservation you want, and if you don't want to use it you can then trade them with your friends on beli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orik Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 It's certainly a real problem, especially given that almost 60% of reservations end up being cancelled, and restaurants protect themselves in a variety of ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backyardchef Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I don't even try. Anything that hard to get into is skippable for me. Just not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I can get into places I actively want to go to, which does involve being flexible. The challenge is with places I am curious about because they are so besieged like Tatiana, but in the end who cares? And then there are the impossible places I don’t want to go to anyway. Is there somewhere I am begging for a reservation but can’t get one? Not obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at some point, they wont be impossible; at that same point, we probably wont care. It's bad enough I have to go to the "secondary market" for some of the music I want to see; that's where I draw the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
