I don't know if they still do that now. This was back when we used to chop our lettuce and slice or own tomoatos.

Omg! I used to work at the Wendy's in Panama City, Fla, about twenty or so years ago, and we did the same thing! That's why they serve chili- it enables them to use the meat that isn't used on the sandwiches. It was gross- they would store it in the walk-in all day (or two or three) and then boil the meat for a long time before chopping it up and putting it in the chili. I'm guessing the finger belongs to maybe an illegal or someone not interested in having any sort of official-type attentions paid to them
