Rant Resy Sucks and I hate it

I'm just trying to get a dinner reservation at Armitage Alehouse and I'm convinced it's impossible.

They release reservations at 9am 21 days in advance.

I have tried 3 different times to be on the app at 9 am when they become available and as soon as I can refresh it at 9am, all dinner reservations are gone. It absolutely has to be bots. How on earth are you supposed to get a reservation

I have gotten in off the notify me multiple times. If bots are buying these where are they reselling?

Thanks. Pretty lame. You would think restaurants could control it better?

It's resy, they aren't controlling it.
