It it apparently _is_ an actual problem, which is why an attempt at solving it is being made. A black market for reservations is bad not just for customers, but for the establishment that loses out on business if the reservations aren't actually sold, and therefore nobody shows up.

they should go after ticketmaster and livenation which is a far, far bigger issue except of course they lobby hard while black market reservation folk don’t. they need to unionize or something and then lobby hard too :)

It's not a problem at all. Cook at home or go to another restaurant. These legislators should be put on a strict diet of water and bread for a few years until they learn.
