Ed Levine:
After 4 p.m. people using cash seemed to have a great time buying food at lines that were most often 15 minutes or less, and never more than half an hour.

Another Poster:
THIS IS A LIE.

My response:
Agreed: THIS IS A LIE We arrived at 3PM; waited in line until almost 5PM for pastrami sandwiches and Hot wings.

Another Poster:
Thank you for the apology but you are sadly mistaken that things got better after 4p. Read the comments here and on Twitter, Facebook, the Mercury News and the SF Chronicle. This was a huge failure.

My response:
Ed Levine is lying. Pure and simple.

We arrived at 3PM; waited in line until almost 5PM for pastrami sandwiches and Hot wings. We were there until almost 8PM; the only vendors without long lines were vendors that were sold out of their food items.
One woman told me she waited 45 minutes for pastrami and while waiting, around 6:30PM was threatened by a drunk in line behind her; she quoted him as saying he would punch her out and knock her down (she had done nothing to provoke him). The drunk had accomplices; the woman called out for someone to call security; no one did.
There was an obnoxious drunk behind us in line earlier in the day for almost 2 hours.
Did not see ANY security anywhere near the food vendors at any time

If Ed has any integrity at all he will reach out to myself and other posters here to OFFER refunds; not make us chase them down.
