I wrote about the influence credit cards have on the restaurant industry, and how it increasingly feels like if you don't have the right card, you can't get into the cool restaurants (and how swipe fees contribute to the fact that you can't afford it anyway) www.weareravenous.com/restaurant-c...

It's all another example of how we're paying for access. Your card doesn't actually get you a good reservation. It gets you the chance at one.
