It seems like just yesterday that everyone was bitching about Apple's Civic Center take-over to announce (among other things) the iPhone 6s. And today Apple has confirmed that those new phones will be at their stores on Friday, which means that people (or their Task Rabbits) are likely lining up outside the Apple store starting right about now.

You already know about this fucking phone: You can get it in a new color, "rose gold," which I hate and Caleb loves. It's got "three levels of touch pressure allowing new capabilities for interacting with buttons and content in iOS9." It's got "an all-new MP camera" which "is quietly recording audio and video of you all the time unless you opt out of this feature." Yay?

All in all, there are 18 new features, USA Today rhapsodizes uh, today, all intended to make you throw your current phone in the landfill and buy this new one.

In a press release posted to their website this morning, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, Philip Schiller, provides this electrifying quote: “Customer response to the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus has been incredibly positive, we can't wait to get our most advanced iPhones ever into customers’ hands starting this Friday." Well, you will have to wait, Phil, as it's only Monday!

Also waiting will be those folks who decide to camp out in front of the Apple store every time there's a new product, as folks did this time last year for the iPhone 6 (aka the phone you will be tossing to get the new one) despite the fact that you can just pre-order the phone and have them mail it to you the day-of. But there's no reasoning with zealots, is there? After all, as Tim, an Apple-camper we spoke with last year said: "I know I sound like I'm brainwashed...But everything Apple does is amazing."

Well, now all that's left to do is make coffee. All day. pic.twitter.com/SLbik1O0ZS

Honoring the local customs of their new San Francisco import, Japanese coffee drinkers are waiting up to three-hour lines at Blue Bottle's Tokyo location, The Wall Street Journal reports. Though it's common practice in Japan for patrons to form long lines of their own, the latest queue on Blue Bottle's opening day is, in spirit, a Bay Area cultural export.

"We are sorry for keeping our customers waiting for such a long time," the store Tweeted, noting that those who arrived after 4 p.m. would be turned away. And according to Eater, bouquets of flowers and oddly enough a stroller were left near the line that wrapped around the outpost.

As Re/code reported last year, Blue Bottle has been getting in on the local investment craze, raising over $25 million on top of an initial $20 million in 2012. Well known backers include Morgan Stanley, Google Ventures, and Twitter and Medium co-founder Evan Williams. A second Tokyo Blue Bottle is already on its way.

James Freeman, Blue Bottle's founder, has remarked on the influence of Japanese coffee shops in his own practices. Some things, it would seem, are universal.

Scads of burrito-fusion fans waited in line outside Papalote on Saturday to say that they crammed the Soulrrito down their gullet. The Soulrrito — a whimsical (albeit carb-heavy) concoction of mac & cheese, tri tip beef, collard greens, and yams — was available for one day only. That day was today. And it sold out in several hours 30 minutes.

Behold:

Et voilà:

Moms. They're fantastic. And they just want you to be safe. Take, for example, Ofelia Gomez of San Lorenzo, who camped out in front of the new Pink Dolphin store location on Haight Street for two nights so that her son, Christian Gonzalez, 16, could be first in line for the store's grand opening.

"We came Thursday night to see the scene and we have been here waiting since Friday morning at 8 am. I am here because my son loves the brand and I wanted him to be safe," Gomez told the store's PR ilk. She parked in front of the store so she could watch over her son while he kept his spot in line. She slept in the back seat during the night.

Your editor, who came across the massive line outside Pink Dolphin, spotted a queue the leaned heavily toward young teens and a mix of ethnicities. A refreshing change compared to the types who, no matter the wait, will line up for Sriracha ramen mole cupcakes or whatever the latest food trend is.

Anyway, the reason for the line was that Pink Dolphin — owned by Neima Khaila and Cena Barhaghi, who are from the Bay Area, and only 25 and 22, respectively — released a collection of limited edition hats, hoodies, shirts that were only available in store. Here are some pics of the scene and the store.

Pink Dolphin: 1431 Haight, San Francisco

San Francisco's Mission District, home of the placated infantilized male, saw a long line early Tuesday morning for neither food nor food truck. The queue -- around 100 deep, according to David Downs -- was for today's release of Grand Theft Auto V.

GTAV is expected to be the best-selling game of all time. Analyst Colin Sebastian anticipates the latest installment of the series to net $1 billion in sales during the first month alone, and sell 20 million units by March.

It looks pretty cool and, like you, we would love to play it as soon as humanly possible.

While the Cronut craze proves to be as, if not more obnoxious than the cupcake revolution, it's not as widespread. So far, one can only obtain the revered doughut-croissant hybrid on the island of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Texas, or abroad. But now you can get something similar, called the Cronot, in the Bay Area care of South Bay's Posh Bakery.

Inside Scoop has more:

Yes: Cronots. Cro-nots. Posh Bakery is a wholesale bakery based in the South Bay. They have Posh Bagel outlets around town, which are (so far)both Cronot-free and doughnut-free, but the majority of Posh Bakery business is wholesale. Which means that Cronots could soon be littering the Bay Area.

Posh Bakery is currently making four varieties of Cronots: glazed, chocolate, strawberry and cinnamon. Each one can be filled with custard, or not filled with custards.

Looking to get your own? You can try Lee’s locations, which are scheduled to get Cronots on Monday. You can find them at: 222 Front Street, 235 Montgomery Street, 170 Spear Street, and 75 Battery Street.

Or, worse yet, make your own.

UPDATE 5:00 pm: Lines are gone. You have about one hour to hit the museum before it closes!!

If you plan on getting into SFMOMA today before it closes at 6 pm for a 2.5 year renovation, good luck! Lines stemming from the city's modern museum of art are long, stretching around Howard and Jessie.

Museum closes at 6pm. After that, you'll have to wait until 2016.

Yes, it's warm outside. Yes, you should have planned on taking the day off. No, you cannot use our pool. But where, then, to go on this uncharacteristically warm day, you ask? Well, we have seven choice ideas for spending a warm afternoon or evening out on the town. Think linen shorts and espadrilles, camisoles and bralessness, extra deodorant under those ripe pits and grass between your stank toes.

It's San Francisco's official summertime (maybe one entire week of it!), so get ready for fun in the all-too-brief sun.

Tacolicious spilled dirt on a godawful customer who came into their Marina location and tried flashing their Bravo reality-star card to get a seat in lieu of waiting in line. Which: haha. Idiot. Eater recently interviewed Kory Cogdill, Tacolicious' marketing/events guy, who poured forth the following tidbit:

[Eater] Any other notable characters that people may recognize?

[Cogdill] We've had a couple people from the Real World [laughs]. There was this girl in the Marina location one time who was demanding that I seat her because she was on a reality show on Bravo, on like a dating show. I can't remember the name. It was a bachelorette type show and she said, 'Do you know who I am?' and I said, 'I don't. I'm sorry.' I told her she would have to wait like everyone else.

Whoever could it be! One of Patti Stanger's ill-fated clients? Eh, not likely. Patti Stanger herself? Well, she has fallen under the umbrella of godawful. One of the human-like beings featured on Miss-Advised? Maybe. The San Francisco-based Emily Morse let cameras follow her around the city as she—tee hee, giggle, giggle, wink, wink—dated a bisexual man. Sonja Morgan? RHONY isn't a dating show. Also, Sonja doesn't have a taste for rude, and rude doesn't have a taste for Sonja.

Point being: Thank you, Cogdill and Tacolicious, for making her wait. A less refined establishment might have tossed her into the bay.

Being seen waiting in line at, say, Mission Chinese Food, is part if not most of the fun of going out. It's San Francisco's latest boosterism quirky fad. And it's quite gross, really, unless you're a masochist who gets off extending painful periods of anticipation. (Standing in line for something is akin to hoarding -- we just don't understand either sickness. Our fondness for antiseptic cleanliness and instant gratification are but things of the past, it seems.) And with that, we present to you the latest distraction, SF Loves Waiting In Lines.

It's got everything from lines in the Marina to lines in the Mission. Here people wait in line for chicken. Here they wait in line for coffee at a museum. It's not government cheese, people. So why wait? Bizarre. Anyway, be sure to visit SF Loves Waiting In Lines. It's a choice place to see what's hot and what to avoid to check out.

[h/t: Beth!]

Beth Spotswood sent us harrowing images of her standing in line at the Department of Motor Vehicles this morning in Western Addition. Yuck. Though this is a city chockfull of people who love to stand in line for stuff, the DMV probably isn't one of them (unless it's an unusually hot day and you're just ying for A/C, which is actually a good tip if you're someone who plans their DMV jaunts in advance).

We asked Spotswood to tell us about he time at the DMV this morning. "I'm so boooooored," she explained, adding, "There are a smattering of hot guys here." Later, once inside the building, she mentioned, "I'm standing right by the light switch. Tempting!" When asked why she was even at the DMV at such an ungodly hour, she told us, "My tags. The criminal who stole my tags should have to wait in line for me. He or she would never cross the law again."

When asked why she didn't make an appointment first, Spotswood sighed, saying, "I thought when I would get here when they opened to beat the rush. I didn't think I'd need an appointment. Dumb!" Appointment issues aside, she was chided for taking a picture inside the building. We had no idea photography inside the DMV was verboten. "I didn't see any signs, but when I took one of the whole waiting room, the guard came over to me and said, 'no photos, ma'am. '"

Godspeed, Beth. Godspeed.

What with Nora Ephron's untimely passing, one of her most noted films' famous quotes, the one that follows Meg Ryan's (very) fake orgasm scene in When Harry Met Sally, has been played on every major news channel over the last 24 hours. And with that, we here at SFist, along with help from friend Beth Spotswood, came up with our own list of favorite food lines in cinema history. Look, we'll warn you that the the top 7 is somewhat biased, very gay-minded, and resoundingly accurate. You won't see any "favas beans with a nice chianti," that line you recall from that time you sat through Duck Soup in your Intro to American Cinema class, or — God forbid — anything foreign. These are only the most critical and soul-piercing food lines ever uttered in motion picture history. (Feel free to add your own or argue about them in the comments.)

They are:

7. "Fey, I see salt and pepper. Is there a salt substitute?" (What About Bob?)
Bill Murray, the Linda Evangelista of male comedic actors, works wonders in this scene here from What About Bob? that starts out with a some freshly shucked corn. The entire thing is worth repeated viewing. Which is probably why it's always on cable.

6. "Lt. Dan, I got you some ice cream. Lt. Dan, Ice cream!" (Forrest Gump)
We could dress this up for you, but, like every memorable line in this Boomerific flick riddled with SGI, the ice cream line is funny because, well, Forrest is mentally disabled. Tom Hanks' portrayal is the head-scratching gift that keeps on giving.

5. "Shelby...drink the juice!" (Steel Magnolias)
Look at Shelby. Not drinking her juice. M'Lynn and Truvy aren't having any of it. Stupid Shelby. Drink your juice. (Side note: We dare to see Queen Latifa and Jill Scott come anywhere near close to the stern yet maternal forced imbibing as executed here by Sally Field and Dolly Parton.)

4. "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli." (The Godfather)
Clemenza might as well have said, "Leave the gun. Take the spicy meat-a-ball" while tossing pizza dough in the air. The line is that Eye-talian. But this moment is still popular, still an indefatigable moment in cinema, and still has us pining for a box of cannoli upon each viewing.

3. "Eggs! Eggs! Eggs!" (Pink Flamingos) Edie sits in a crib sporting a bouffant like no one can. Won't someone give her some eggs? You know how she likes them.

2. "I'll have what she's having" (When Harry Met Sally)
RIP, Nora.

1. "You took worst, because you have best-quality heart." (The Joy Luck Club)
Surprise! We're giving the greatest food line in cinematic history to the greatest Chinese American movie based in San Francisco featuring a cast of multi-ethnic actors playing Chinese/Chinese-Americans! And what a film it is. In this scene, casually played over a sink of dirty dishes, June finally reaches the emotional connection with her mother that she has wanted her entire life...and it comes in the form of bad-quality crab. (It gets going around the 5:45 mark.)

Wow, did you see the lines STILL growing outside the downtown AT&T and Apple stores this past weekend? The above shot was taken last night, proving that most of you ignored a few bad reviews, and wanted your very own Jobsian doodad. Now.

The phone passed the 1 million sales mark after a mere three days on the market. Impressive, indeed. And after seeing this image above -- of someone from Hunter's Point waiting in line outside the downtown Apple store -- SF sales are sure to climb even higher. Why? Because nerds in SF (vulgarly) think anyone and everyone from Hunter's Point is cool.

Update: An eagle-eye commenter said this is someone named Kevin Epps, an indie director of sorts. We had no idea.
