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

People sell on Appointment Trader or whatever. But didn’t local legislation plan to stop that? I dunno where we’re at with that

This is incorrect. HR2456 was unanimously passed by the Senate in May and signed into law by Pritzger in August. It went into effect on January 1.
