"911 call" news and stories

It's a familiar story. You go to your local deli or lunch spot for a nice turkey on wheat or roast beef on a roll. You give your order clearly, patiently wait for your sandwich, pay for it and settle down to eat. Often the sandwich is just as you ordered, but occasionally, you don't get quite what you asked for. When faced with that situation, most of us choose to either 1). eat the sandwich, even though it wasn't quite what we wanted or 2). take it back and ask that it be fixed.

Reginald Peterson of Jacksonville, FL made a different choice last week. He ordered a sandwich at his local Subway shop and, when he noticed it was missing the sauce he requested, he pulled out his cell phone and dialed 911, so that he could report his forgetful sandwich makers to the police. The officers arrived and, when they weren't able to convey to Peterson that missing sauce on a sandwich wasn't an appropriate use of 911, they arrested him for making false 911 calls.

Obviously, this was not an appropriate use of the 911 system. However, I am curious how the rest of you handle it when your order comes out incorrectly. Do you say something or does your need not to make a scene win out?
