The Tampa police say this was abuse of 911 . . . but I disagree. It’s totally reasonable use of 911 . . . and abuse of delicious waffles.
The Tampa police just released a recording of a woman calling 911 last month . . . to report she’d been served undercooked waffles.
The woman was eating at a Village Inn . . . if you don’t know the chain, it’s like Denny’s or IHOP. They served her, quote, “some raw waffles” . . . then refused to take them off the bill. So she called 911 to sort it out.
The 911 dispatcher handled the entire thing pretty well, and even sent a cop out there. But there’s no word on how things turned out.
The reason the police released the call was as an example of something not worth calling 911 over . . . you should call the police non-emergency number over things like raw waffles.
