True encounter at Wendys About two decades ago, a lady in central CA claimed to have found a severed finger in her Wendy’s chili. Her scam was eventually revealed in court, iirc. What I did in Albuquerque the week following the news of the chili finger, was to ask the Wendy’s drive thru clerk for extra fingers in my chili, being the smart-ass that I am. Without any hesitation whatsoever, the order-taker came back with, “sorry sir, that’s only in our California stores”.
