Restaurant reservations have become the hot new scalping racket

That’s already really common in a lot of self-care businesses, like if you book a massage or spa visit. If you cancel before a certain time, you might get a full refund, and the refund diminishes the later you go.
If this restaurant thing is working the way I suspect, with bots snatching up the reservations at the nominal fee, it would be awesome to see someone get one of those reservations, enjoy their whole meal, then just, “put the bill on the credit card number you have on file, thanks.”
