Man calls 911 in beef over sandwich [562 Views]     

A Connecticut man who was left with a bad taste in his mouth after a deli messed up his sandwich order called 911 to complain, WTIV reported Friday.

Rother McLennon, of East Hartford, Conn., told the emergency services dispatcher that he 'specifically asked for a little turkey and little ham, a lot of cheese and a lot of mayonnaise' when ordering from the nearby Grateful Deli on Wednesday.

The person on the other end of the line asked McLennon, 'You're calling 911 because you don't like the way that they're making your sandwich?' to which he replied, 'Exactly.'

The irate customer claimed a deli worker, who had not made the offending sandwich, was refusing to right the wrong.

'I mean, I just want to solve this the right way,' he said. 'Her sister made it, but she left. They are playing games with me, so I was just wondering if you could come by. I just want it resolved and I want to be able to come back here and get the regular sandwich that I ask for.'

Before ending the call, the dispatcher told McLennon, 'In the future, just don't buy the sandwich.'

The Grateful Deli's owner, Tila Azinheira, told WVIT McLennon had placed an order for 14 specific sandwiches. As they were special orders, Azinheira said they could not be changed.

McLennon called the deli back to apologize Thursday, she added.

No charges were filed over the incident, the report stated.
