After years of people finding a condom or toe nail or whatever in their food and suing for ridiculous amounts of money (those stories never set well with me, most of them were people out for a quick buck I think) this lady probably has them all beat.
And to think over a decade ago that lady got the money for the hot coffee in the lap...where is that person now anyway?
For her suit, give her a high four and a half!
Might even take down the name of her attorney . . .
Me too.
I also want to know where the rest of the body is.

Somwhere, maybe hundred or thousands of miles away from that restaurant, somebody lost that finger in an accident. Both the company and the patron were affected by that far away accident.
What did the restaurant company do wrong and, if you owned the company, what could you do to ensure that this does not happen again?
Accidents happen. Why does somebody always have to be entitled to money for them?
Unfortunately the lawyers are going to punish Wendy's into nonexistence.
If Lorena Bobbitt worked in the kitchen, it could have been worse.
I remember once going in to an Arby's for a roast beef sandwich, and the guy who cuts the thin slices of meat had a bandage on his finger! I decided to eat elsewhere...
Did they ever find out just who, exactly, belongs to that fingertip?
It can't be THAT hard to figure out! Love to hear the story how she lost the finger.
THIS JUST IN: The finger is question has been determined to be a MIDDLE finger & now the amount has tripled. Not only did she get a finger in her chili, but it came with a nasty message.
Personally, I've started eating Wendy's Chili at every meal. At 99 cents a cup, it's cheaper than a lottery ticket -- and the odds of getting another finger are better than powerball.
They should get a fingerprint of the finger and ID its owner.
Nice scam. A body is to be cremated or buried in a closed casket. Said employee cuts off finger. Gives it to Ms Chili, who plops it into her "dinner" and starts screaming!
Next thing we know Ms Ayala has a 7 figure checking account and lives in Rio.
When I was reading tort law back in the dark ages, there was an old case in the textbook about a man who bit into his chew of tobacco and found a human toe in it. So there's nothing new.
Many years ago my grandmother worked for her parents small chain of candy and icecream stores. As was back then, everything was made by hand. The father was a real tight-a$$ so he cut corners whenever and wherever he could. He had a weekly flavor of icecream and my grandmother would cut all the fruit. She sliced off the fleshy portion of her thumb into a batch of fruit. He made her hunt for it while she bled terribly. After a while, he determined that frozen peaches in icecream had a similar texture to fingers. He was not going to throw the whole day's batch out and served it the next week anyway.
My best friend managed a Wendy's for years.
The beef for the chili comes from the left over cooked hamburgers. If the finger was in the beef - how come no one noticed it when the burger was being cooked??
The beans for the chili come in big cans and are dumped into a strainer, swirled around under running water to rinse them before adding them to the chili.
Now, maybe the finger was in the can of beans, but it really couldn't come from the beef and should have been noticed if it was in the beans. My bet - the aggrieved party is in cahoots w/ someone working behind the grill.
Something seems wrong here but I can't quite put my finger on it.
Now, the guy who lost his finger, OTOH . . .
Mom always said you never know where it's been.
