One couple from Dallas called 311 repeatedly and obtained their license in Oakland; another couple rescheduled but held a private celebration.

Sam's reported approximately $10,000 in lost revenue, discarded refrigerated inventory, and extra labor to restock and prep. Civic Center Market lost frozen goods such as ice cream.
