Hey, remember how Ed Jew tried to strong-arm Quickly stores into giving him $80,000 for permits? Permits "required of franchise operations in the City?" Well, Sarah Phelan at SFBG reports that today -- well after a court day has been set for the disgraced former supervisor, who is at a safe distance arranging tasteful bouquets at his family's flower shop -- Quickly stores STILL don't have their required permits, and no one, it seems, is doing a thing about it.
But that's not that fun part. It's this: Stuart Hanlon, Jew's lawyer, tries to toss blame at Supe Board Prez Aaron Peskin for the continuing lack of permitlessness with Quickly stores in the City. Hanlon tells Phelan that "[t]hey have one in [board president Aaron] ... Peskin's district that Peskin has done zero about."
Oops. Then, SFist's favorite bear/City Hall employee responded thusly. Ahem:
Stuart Hanlon can go fuck himself. The guy shouldn't be using my name as he does, and if he and his client had any idea how law worked, Ed would not be in a deep pile of trouble. The Planning Department is fully aware of all the violations of Quicklys throughout San Francisco, including my district. The fact that the Planning Department is not doing their job with speed and alacrity has nothing to do with us lawmakers.
He said the f-word. Tee hee.
Anyway, read more about how this chain is allowed to thrive sans permit. (Sonic and Wendy's? We wait patiently for your spores to drop.)

Quickly is just.... Sucky.
Me: I'll have a bubble tea with large tapioca.
Quickly: We're out of large tapioca.
I...I love you, Aaron Peskin. I am crying laughing at that quote.
Ditto on the loving Aaron Peskin!!
Good for Aaron. I don't say that often ,but he's right on. I mean, wtf?
I LOVE Aaron Peskin. And I'm willing to go on record as saying so.
@greggers, it's funny, I'm not big on tapioca, but there have been so many times I've walked into a Quickly because one of their snack items was intriguing and literally every single time I order something it's "we're out of that" or "we don't serve that until [insert random time in future here]pm." As a result, I've never had anything from Quickly.
Heh - the face that the city administration doesn't work has nothing to do with the board of supes?
Quickly? Ick... they make it so quickly, it has no flavor.
Tapioca is becoming the dead fad. Next up: yogurt shops.
I love when public officials add a little pizazz to their sound bites.
Love it.
Ed Jew needs to go fuck himself as well.
What a piece of shit.
Politicians should get a monthly f-bomb allowance--so many utterances allowed per month. It makes them sound more sincere.
