Surprised you don't find baggage claim abysmal at times at SFO. I will often stop in UC to use restroom and even grab a quick cocktail at times just so I don't have to wait downstairs. It has gotten a bit better as or late but late evening flights or holidays and you will feel like you are collecting bags in a third world country. To be fair I often travel with odd size baggage so I have to get it from the special luggage area and that is always last.
