Wendy's International Inc. offers $100,000 reward (doubled from its original offer) for information leading to the origin of a human finger found in a bowl of chili from a California Wendy's last month. According to Wendy's President and Chief Operating Officer, Tom Mueller, the company's franchises and employees have done nothing wrong, yet are paying a high price for the finger incident - specifically those in the San Jose, CA. area where the finger appeared in a customers chili order. Workers have been either laid-off or had their hours reduced. "Our brand reputation has been affected nationally," Mueller said. "We are determined to find out what really happened in this incident." There have been no reports of finger or hand accidents in any Wendy's restaurant and all employees passed lie detector tests, Wendy's confirmed in a statement Friday. Anna Ayala, the customer who discovered the finger in her order, dropped her legal claim against the fast-food chain. Official conducted a search of her residence as part of the investigation, but have not released any details.
