Then when the chef explains there is a Salmon shortage because of an environmental disaster like an oil spill, that the restaurant literally cannot get any Salmon no matter how much they would be willing to pay for it, the customer continues to demand more Salmon, convinced, somehow, that the chef has it in their power to get more when there isn't any.

Not the best analogy, I know.
Then why did the restaurant sell salmon and why is he still advertising salmon? Why is he still charging the customers for queuing up for salmon? And how are other restaurants getting salmon? How come they have had a problem with salmon providers for ages but no one else has?
