“Guys how do we get people under 40 to stop making reservations without saying that out loud.”

Or: "how do we discriminate who we give reservations to without any official policy."

I am 40, and I still hate that. But I'm also really far from teenager shyness or "not knowing better", so I would just wait until they pick up and say how annoyed I am and how they can go f themselves with that practice. If several people would do that every day, they would reconsider how they take bookings.

Pretty likely whoever’s taking reservations isn’t going to have any say in what’s on the website.

They can still report feedback to their superior.

They’ll get right on the advocacy after hanging up when they hear “fuck you“ 😉

Haha, I meant in the event you politely say it annoying and counter to web booking desire. I think the fick you might undermine any positive suggestions for change.
