A dispute over pizza toppings resulted in a 911 call to the Hartford, Connecticut, police department.

The unhappy customer called the cops to ask if they could do something because a local pizzeria wouldn’t give her a refund for an incomplete pie.

The dispatcher politely reminded the woman that 911 is for life-threatening emergencies only.

When the dispatcher asked the woman what happened specifically, she responded that the pizza order had allegedly been botched because someone didn’t bring home the bacon.

“I ordered a small pizza, half cheese and half bacon. They bring me half hamburger. So I called them back and they don’t want to give my money back. They keep hanging up on me.”

While reaffirming that the dispute wasn’t a police matter, the dispatcher said an officer could meet the customer outside the shop to try to resolve the situation, Fox 61 in Hartford reported. To the disappointment of the customer who was already displeased that hamburger was mistakenly substituted for bacon, the dispatcher was firm that no one from the police would call the pizza parlor to seek the refund.

“The dispatcher took [the customer’s] information, told her to wait outside the pizza shop, and sent an officer to the location. According to the pizza place, the woman ate half the pizza, demanded her money back plus another pizza. Police told the owners to ‘forget it.’”

Police declined to charge the woman with misusing the 911 system and apparently only gave her a warning, WFSB added.

Started with a complaint about bad pizza but calling #Hartford 911 is no laughing matter. @FOX61News at 10/11p. pic.twitter.com/QRBcKcs3ZD — Jeevan Vittal (@JvittalTV) March 29, 2016

Two food products that America takes very seriously are pizza and bacon, but they almost never, if at all, justify police intervention.

“We are a city that is strapped for resources, both here in the dispatch center and the police department. We are already short police officers as it is. We certainly don’t need to be tying up police officers with this sort of thing,” declared Hartford Deputy Police Chief Brian Foley.

For some reason, however, as The Inquisitr has previously reported, there appears — to some degree — to be an increasing incidence nationwide of citizens using 911 to order, or more often to complain about, food or drink disputes, including but not limited to pizza.

Last November, a woman in the Orlando, Florida, area called 911, according to law enforcement authorities, because she wanted to place an order for cigarettes and chicken wings.

A North Carolina woman called 911 because Subway allegedly put marinara sauce on her flatbread pizza and then wouldn’t refund her money, while a Memphis grandmother called 911, according to police, because she apparently ran out of beer on New Year’s Day.

A woman tried to turn up the heat when she called 911 to report a case of raw waffles at a Tampa, Florida, restaurant.

An Arizona man once called 911 when his McDonald’s drive-thru order was missing hash browns. A woman called 911 three times to report that a McDonald’s had run out of Chicken McNuggets. A Georgia man called the emergency number because he ordered seven McDouble burgers but his bag only contained six.

A Florida man allegedly called 911 approximately 80 times to request a home delivery of Kool-Aid, burgers, and weed.

Across the pond, a disgruntled customer called the U.K. equivalent of 911 to report that he was still waiting for the pizza delivery guy to show up after 45 minutes.

In most jurisdictions, accessing the 911 system for a non-emergency is considered a misdemeanor.
