Some guy here called 911 on a sandwich shop, because he did not like the way his sandwich was being made. I can not believe this. You should hear the 911 call.:-3

It's the little touches in the story that I like. Such as "Before ending the call, the dispatcher advised him not to buy the sandwich".

Deli owner Tila Azinheira tells WVIT-TV that McLennon had placed an order for 14 sandwiches and the deli made them to his specifications. She said he was told that because the sandwiches were special orders, the deli couldn't take them back. She said he used her phone to call police.

Out of interest, is it technically possible to eat 14 sandwiches?

Yes, if you're buying them for 13 other people.

Is there any indication that he was? I've seen no hint of it. All I've seen has been consistent with the order being for personal consumption.

Here we are - quote from the transcript of the call... "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”. That's one person's preference, not a party order.

There are a few reports on the net about this story and likewise, nowhere does It state they were all for his own consumption. You are merely guessing they were all for himself.

Maybe he'll give a press conference as to how many people he Indeed ordered for.

Don't look at me, I'm ignoring the prat, I've had it to the back teeth with her. The one guarantee I'll make is that I've not replied to any of her posts, maybe that's enough to exonerate me. As for why I asked about consuming 14 sandwiches I gave my reason, that all were identical and all personalized to one taste. Of course it doesn't matter, any more than the story matters. I just found it an odd note among the various facts about what happened.
