This is absolute crap. That woman planted the finger there to make money, if you ask me. I work at Wendy's, you see. I make chili twice a week (it's made twice daily, but I personally only make it twice weekly). The meat for the chili is actually burger meat. Burgers are cooked on the grill, and should they break, overcook, or too much meat be produced, the burgers are made into chili meat. The burgers are less than half an inch thick, and a human finger could not possibly be concealed within one of them. The burgers are put into a pan and an employee uses a spatula (not a knife) to cut the meat into small chunks. Since every single burger must be chunked into very small pieces, the employee must sift carefully through all the meat to ensure that no large pieces of burger remain. A FINGER would be noticed. The meat is added to the beans and vegetables in a large pot full of water and chili powder, and the whole thing is put on the stove to cook.
The only place a finger could reach the chili is through the canned goods. The beans and vegetables for the chili are taken from sealed cans. Should a finger be in them, Wendy's is a victim just as much as that woman is. THEY didn't know a finger would be in the can, and the companies Wendy's buys from are all certified by health inspectors, so you can't blame them for poor quality control. It was most likely put there by the woman herself, and if not, it is the bean distributors who are to blame.

. If she faked this, this'll be another excuse for the Republicans to whine about the myth of frivolous lawsuits and then, in the name of court reform, make it harder to sue insurance companies.
