A Connecticut man knows how he likes his sandwich, and so does the 911 dispatcher who took his call on Wednesday afternoon complaining about how it was made.
I specifically asked for little turkey, and little ham, a lot of cheese and a lot of mayonnaise and they are giving me a hard time. I wonder if you can stop by and just he said when he called 911 from Greatful Deli in East Hartford on Wednesday afternoon.
You can listen to the full call but, here are the highlights:
The dispatcher remains calm and manages to calm Rother McLennon down, all why trying to make him realize that a sandwich, no matter how much it differs from what he asked for, is no reason to call 911.
Youre calling 911 because you dont like way that theyre making your sandwich? the dispatcher asks.
Exactly, he said.
With that settled, the dispatcher offers some advice:
So, then, dont buy it, she said.
But McLennon, who seems to be a regular at the deli, tells her hes not just calling about this sandwich. He also fears that they wont make his sandwich to his specific request in the future.
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, he said. I just want it resolved and I want to be able to come back here and get the regular sandwich that I ask for.
The call ends with more advice to the caller
In the future, just dont buy the sandwich, 911 tells him.
