Description
Their pockets may be full, but their stomachs remain empty as these San Franciscans stand waiting, waiting, in a long cue before one of the few restaurants permitted by the unions to stay open. Women and children are usually given preference and the men wait in the long line for their turn to enter the crowded restaurants, fight their way through the ranks before the counters and get whatever is left, in many cases no more than coffee and rolls.
