Saturday morning on Market Street betwixt the Powell Street Cable Car turnaround and the San Francisco Centre Nordstrom mall:

First came Coke, all the way from Mexico, all the way back in aught-six. (You see, they use sugar as the sweetener south of the border, you know, instead of corn syrup.)

Then came the 12 oz. Coke in a Coke Bottle purveyors, like this lovely Hayes Valley Taco Model from the Gap:
And then came the Mexican Pepsi at the Costco:
But now comes the King of Them All, El Medio Litro, the half-litre of Mexican Coke in a bottle:
I only saw one case at Costco #144 in SoMA, just recently.
I don’t know what they go for, probably something betwixt $18-24 for 24.
Who knows what Mexican-made beverage Costco will offer next…
Open containers of alcohol, that is.
It looks exactly like this – note the bottle of Jack:
Oh, and there’s a “no smoking” law here as well, if you catch my drift, man.
All’s I’m saying is that the cops don’t enjoy this exercise neither.
So why not do as they want and just put your booze in a giveaway plastic water bottle?
Like this:
Now you’re protecting your juice AND making the cops happy.

[UPDATE: Oh man, Andy Wright and Marie McIntosh from the The Bay Citizen get into it, I mean, they really get into it. C'mon! El Gappo ofrece simple tacos, chicas!]
OMG, it’s back in the Financh today, Wednesday, August 17th, 2011, but for a limited time only.
Check it:
“Lunch at 615 Sacramento St., between Montgomery & Kearny! Stay tuned for our doors up tweet!”
I figure they’ll open around elevenish this AM. Limit four tacos per person.
But this deal is just too sweet, just too much of a bargain, so get there before they run out of tacos. (I mean, don’t show up at 1:00 PM expecting them to still be open is what I’m saying. Maybe, but who knows.)
This is a 100% certified great deal. All hail our corporate overlords at The Gap, Inc.
All the deets:
Well, here it is, straight outta West Pico Blvd, it’s the Pico de Gap Taco Truck!
Check out the sked on Twitter to find it around town to score two tacos plus a bottle of Mexican Coke or a similar such fruity drink for just $1.69, which is redolent of 1969, the year the first Gap store opened up on Ocean Boulevard.
See? This lovely Gap Gal is holding all four available tacos (designed just for S.F. by famous Top Chef “cheftestant” Ryan Scott) plus a $20 off coupon for “1969″ jeans:

And here’s a close-up, 4,2,1,3 I think:
They’re all delish.
Here’s what it looked like in the Hayes Valley a few days back:
Hurray!

Today, Monday, August 15, 2011, they’ll be in the corrupt Twitterloin on Market betwixt 7th and 8th:
“Pico de Gap SF will be between 7th & 8th Streets on Market tomorrow in #SF for lunch! Get tacos y denim starting at 11AM while supplies last”
Hurray!
Well here’s the MacGuffin, what the drama the other day at the “ghetto Lucky” on Fulton near Masonic was all about – a 1.75 litre bottle of Old Whiskey River Whiskey from (Willie) Nelson County, Kentucky.
I heard you’re supposed to get a Willie Nelson guitar pick attached to the neck of every bottle of this brand of six-year-old Bourbon, but I didn’t see it:

Anyway, that was what was dropped outside of the Lucky on Saturday, just by the eastern entrance.
And just beyond that towards the street was this scene. Can you see the little dude wrapping his arms around the legs of the big guy? I think that’s what they call tactics:
See? Timber:
And then ka-thud on the sidewalk of Fulton:
Out come the handcuffs from the undercover agent (called “the L.T.” [lieutenant?] by Lucky employees):
And then it’s past the place where the shoplifted whiskey got dropped and back into the store to wait for the SFPD. Just another day in Paradise south of McBaker and west of the HayBro, just another day in the NoPA, Western Addition, San Francisco, California, USA:
Does this particular Lucky lose lots of alcohol on lazy Saturday and Sunday afternoons?
Well, considering that Lucky hires people just to lie in wait for shoplifters, I’d say yes.
Take it away, Mo:
Learn to love me
Assemble the ways
Now, today, tomorrow and always
My only weakness is a listed crime
My only weakness is … well, never mind, never mind
Oh, shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Shoplifters of the world
Hand it over
Hand it over
Hand it over
