22 911 Emergency Calls Over Food (4 of 5)

This Sandwich Has Too Much Turkey

Rother McLennon placed an order at the Grateful Deli with the following specifications: a little turkey and ham, and a lot of cheese and mayo. Instead of those specifications, he was given the reverse. Rather than settle with East Hartford business directly, McLennon called 911.

Philly Cheesesteak And Ketchup?

Lawrence Ordone was working at Subway when a customer asked for a Philly cheesesteak. What threw Ordone off was when the customer asked to put ketchup on the cheesesteak. Ordone claimed he never put ketchup on a cheesesteak before and that they didn’t have any ketchup. This angered the customer so much that Ordone called the cops because he felt physically threatened. Even though it was revolving around a customer not getting ketchup on his cheesesteak.

Panic Of The Hash Brown

In Mesa, Arizona, Michael Smith and his wife Nova went insane over the lack of an item that they ordered: McDonald’s hash browns in each of their meals. This couple was smart in that they didn’t call 911 themselves, but they did return to the local McDonald’s, where an employee called 911 after Nova threw her bag at the staff in protest. The cops came and calmed the couple down, but in the end, the couple left with no hashbrowns in tow.

The Missing Seventh McDouble

Lorenzo Riggins is on a crusade to remind people to check their food before they leave. He got to this point after ordering seven McDoubles at an Albany, GA McDonald’s. When he went to check his bag, he noticed he only got six rather than seven and instead of talking to McDonalds, he called the cops. He was sent to jail due to misuse of the emergency hotline.

No Extra Shrimp

A woman in Dallas called 911 in 2009 over the lack of extra shrimp she had with her fried rice she ordered at A&D Buffalo’s. After she noticed the missing extra shrimp, she promptly called 911. But despite being so punctual, she never got her refund or that extra shrimp.
