Unless you're the guy who pushes your way to the front of the long Polaris/1K line, which had at least one GS pax in it after being told there was no GS line.
Day before I left got this from United:
See you soon at SFO
Ahead of your journey from the Bay Area tomorrow, July 19, allow us to help make your trip as hassle-free as possible. Please visit us at our Global Reception in Terminal 3, near door 6, as you enter the lobby. We’ll help you check your bags and jump the security line, so you can make it to your “Golden Gate” on-time.If easier, you may also check-in in the lobby of our International Terminal at any counter.
Thanks for flying with us!
Now, I guess one could claim that by encouraging me to go to T3 they were warning me about the loss of the GS check-in line in International. But I didn't pick up on it, and honestly with the onslaught of Uber and Lyft at SFO, getting dropped off at T3 rather than the International Terminal is not a really good option.
