I've heard one too many stories of last-minute cancellations for no good reason. Restaurants should require a credit card and a contract to hold reservations for diners. This is no different than buying an opera ticket. If you can't make it to the opera, either sell your ticket to someone else, or eat the cost of it. If hotels require a credit card to hold a reservation, then why shouldn't restaurants? I will be at the vanguard of any movement that requires diners to give credit card numbers and sign contracts in order to secure a reservation. I'm sick of people taking advantage of the "hospitality" industry just because they can. Debate me if you'd like, but rest assured I feel very strongly about this, and am willing to go to the mat for it. It's time for it to happen, and it's long overdue. You know? If you break your leg at 4:45 PM for a 5 PM reservation, and a restaurant doesn't let it slide, then by all means, let's reserve a special place in Hell for them, and expose them publicly for being money-grubbing misanthropes, but the vast majority of cancellations are simply because people think they can get away with it without penalty or repercussion. It's time for this sorry chapter to come to a end. Honor your reservation, or pay the price for not doing so. Diners have had it too easy for too long, and it's going to take someone like me (a diner) to speak up and force these entitled leeches to take financial responsibility for their actions.
