crushkilldestroy Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 update. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor.../ap/finger_food Employees at the Wendy's were checked and the fingertip didn't come from any of them, officials said, adding that the well-cooked finger may have come from a food processing plant that supplies the company. it's great that they checked to make sure that none of the employees were missing a finger. i know my fingers fall off all the time and i never notice.

Quoted post Oh by Upton Sinclair? Yeah he provides a very accurate depiction of working class conditions in the early industrial era. You are right though, while he writes about laymen, his writing style is that very verbose aristocratic style. Funny thing. I kinda like it but you are right, I can't read it all the time.

KiLL Or DiE Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 *Update* Apparently this lady had a previous record of suing big fast food restaurants..She was arrested today and there will be a conference with full details about the arrest tomorrow at 1:00 pm. I will keep you guys updated, I'm pretty sure some of you guys are curious to know where in the hell that finger came from..Heres some stuff from today.. CNN News Anna Ayala was taken into custody at her home, San Jose police spokesman Enrique Garcia said. He said police would not give any details until a news conference Friday afternoon. Las Vegas police also refused to comment. The arrest is the latest twist in the bizarre case about how the 11/2-inch fingertip ended up in a bowl of fast-food chili. Ayala told police she found the finger March 22 while eating at a Wendy's in San Jose. She said she intended to sue but relented, claiming the publicity was too emotionally taxing. When police and health officials failed to find any missing digits among the workers involved in the restaurant's supply chain, suspicion fell on Ayala, whose story has become a late-night punch line. Ayala has a litigious history. She has filed claims against several corporations, including a former employer and General Motors, though it is unclear from court records whether she received any money. She said she got $30,000 from El Pollo Loco after her 13-year-old daughter got sick at one of the chain's Las Vegas-area restaurants. El Pollo Loco officials say she did not get a dime. Earlier Thursday, Ohio-based Wendy's International Inc. announced it had ended its internal investigation, saying it could find no credible link between the finger and the restaurant chain. All the employees at the San Jose store were found to have all their fingers, and no suppliers reported any hand or finger injuries, the company said. Sales have dropped at franchises in Northern California, forcing layoffs and reduced hours, the company said. Wendy's also has hired private investigators, set up a hot line for tips and offered a $100,000 reward for anyone who provides information leading to the finger's original owner.

KRON KING Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 WILMINGTON, N.C. - A man who ordered a pint of frozen chocolate custard in a dessert shop got a nasty surprise inside — a piece of severed finger lost by an employee in an accident. Unlike a recent incident at a Wendy's restaurant in California, no questions of truth have been raised about the finger found in a package from Kohl's Frozen Custard. State officials went to the shop Monday, and the owner confirmed one of his employees lost part of a finger in an accident with a food-processing machine. Wilmington television station WWAY reported that Clarence Stowers found the finger in custard he purchased Sunday night. Stowers, who did not immediately return calls Monday from The Associated Press, told the station: "I thought it was candy because they put candy in your ice cream ... to make it a treat. So I said, 'OK, well, I'll just put it in my mouth and get the ice cream off of it and see what it is.'" Stowers said he spit the object out, but still couldn't identify it. So he went to his kitchen, rinsed it off with water — and "just started screaming." Stowers said he planned to contact a lawyer. Shop owner Craig Thomas said the employee who lost the finger had dropped a bucket while working with a machine that dispenses the custard. He tried to catch the bucket when the accident occurred. Thomas told WWAY that several employees tried to help the injured worker, and that a drive-thru window attendant apparently scooped custard from the bucket into a pint before being told what had happened. Joe Reardon of the state Agriculture Department's food and drug division said state officials closed the shop while the food-processing equipment involved was cleaned and sanitized. from yahoo - http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/a.../custard_finger In March, a Las Vegas woman claimed she bit down on a 1 1/2 inch-long finger fragment while dining with her family at a Wendy's restaurant in San Jose, Calif. Investigators have since called her claim a hoax and charged her last month with attempted grand theft related to millions in dollars of financial losses Wendy's has suffered since news of her claim broke.

CACashRefund Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Bullshit that guy put the finger in his mouth, he probably saw it and decided "fuck it, this is legit. im gonna say it was in my mouth, complain i could have gotten some disease from the blood and make some serious grip of these fools" thats what i would have done. i dont care how covered with custard/ice cream it was if he knew it was there, i know he had to realize that that was a finger.

KiLL Or DiE Posted May 14, 2005 Author Share Posted May 14, 2005 Finally we can put this thread to rest..Final update.... SAN JOSE, Calif. - It took eight weeks, but investigators finally know where the finger came from that a woman claimed she found in her bowl of Wendy's chili. It didn't belong to a dead aunt of Anna Ayala, who made the claim. Nor was the owner a woman who got too friendly with her pet leopard. The finger came from a man who lost it in an industrial accident and gave it to the husband of Ayala, who allegedly planted it in a scam to get money. "The puzzle pieces are beginning to fall into place, and the truth is being exposed," police Chief Rob Davis said at a news conference Friday. Davis said a tip was called in to a hot line established by the Ohio-based fast-food chain, and police found the man in Nevada this week. He said scientific tests confirmed the finger was his. Investigators had initially believed the 1 1/2-inch fragment was a woman's because the nail was well-trimmed. Davis would not identify the man or say why they think he gave the finger to Ayala's husband. The nature of the industrial accident was also not disclosed. They said only that the man was an associate of Ayala's husband, a construction worker. Authorities said last month that they believed the story was a hoax, and they arrested Ayala at her home in Las Vegas and charged her with attempted grand larceny for allegedly trying to shake down Wendy's. Ayala, 39, filed a claim against the restaurant chain shortly afterward, but later withdrew it as she came under scrutiny. Investigators found at least 13 cases in which she has filed claims in her name or her children's. During the investigation, Wendy's said no employees at the San Jose restaurant had missing fingers, and no suppliers of Wendy's ingredients had reported any finger injuries. Authorities reported that there was no evidence the finger had been cooked. Calls to an attorney for Ayala and Jaime Plascencia, her husband, were not immediately returned. Plascencia is in jail on identity-theft charges unrelated to the Wendy's case. Authorities are considering additional charges against the couple, Davis said. "We are exploring all other options and avenues available to see that those involved in this charade will be investigated," the police chief said. Wendy's has said it has lost millions in sales since Ayala made the claim while visiting her family in San Jose. Dozens of employees at the company's Northern California franchises also have been laid off. The franchise where the claim was made saw an immediate 60 percent to 70 percent drop in business, said Stephen Jay, marketing director at JEM Management, which owns the restaurant. Business is still off 20 percent, he said. The restaurant chain has offered a $100,000 reward but has not given it out yet, according to company spokesman Bob Bertini. He said officials need to talk with police to determine who should receive it. In a statement, the company praised San Jose police and said the latest evidence vindicates its employees. "We strongly defended our brand and paid a severe price," said Tom Mueller, Wendy's president of North America. "We are extremely proud of our employees and franchisees who have suffered the most, and we are forever grateful to our many customers who have supported us during this difficult time." The Nevada agency that investigates industrial accidents has no record of a worker injury such as the one San Jose police described, said Tom Czehowski, chief administrator of the state Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Nevada employers are only required to report deaths or injuries causing the hospitalization of three or more employees, he said. The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health was also checking its records for any workers who reported losing a finger in an industrial accident, spokesman Dean Fryer said. Link ...
