The woman decided that a lack of sriracha is a situation that only police can handle, and called 911 after getting her disappointing order.
Claiming the employees were yelling at her and calling her names, the 36-year-old woman created a disturbance inside the restaurant until she was physically removed from the premises by police, according to the Seattle Police Department Blotter.
Arriving on the scene of the crime at 2.15am, police officers were asked to remove the woman, who was accompanied by a 45-year-old male companion, for creating a “disturbance inside when she did not receive what she believed to be an adequate amount of sriracha sauce.”
According to the police notes from the incident, the woman, who seemed intoxicated, “kept bringing up” the sriracha issue, even attempting to divert police attention away from a much more serious assault that took place around the same time involving her and her companion.
In their notes, the police wrote that the woman “kept diverting the investigation from the assault to her irritation with the pizza parlour and her treatment” by an employee “with the tattoos on the face.”
Despite the seriousness of the issue, neither the woman nor any restaurant employees were arrested.
However, a 29-year-old male who allegedly assaulted the couple with a trash can outside of the pizza place was arrested, despite being inconsequential in comparison to the lack of sriracha sauce.
Let this be a warning to those who don’t take extra topping and condiment requests seriously...
