Wendy's Finger - Where do we draw the line?
On March 22, Anna Ayala found a finger in a cup of Wendy's chili. I don't know about you but something like that would traumatize me for life and I don't know if I would ever be able to go back to Wendy's, let alone order chili again. While finding the finger would affect my decision to eat at Wendy's again, her finding the finger affected many people in the Bay area and their decision to eat at Wendy's. After the finger was found, Wendy's attendace dropped significantly and many people had to be fired due to the lack of customers. Now, this would be a horrible experience for anyone, but recently it has been found that it wasn't really a bad experience at all for Anna, in fact it would have been one of the best things she's ever done, if she hadn't been caught. Anna Ayala was recntly arrested for planting the finger in her chili so she could reap the benfits of a law suit. this brings me back to my original question, where do we draw the line? How far are Americans willing to go to try and make some money? Here is woman who potentially ruined the reputation of Wendy's, at least in the Bay area, and got many people fired from their jobs in the process due to the affect of her claim. That's not too mention how hard jobs are to come by right now anyway. Anna did not care about any of that, just the money she could potentially receive if she had gotten away with her little stunt. Now she is facing an attempted grand larceny charge and could face a hefty punishment. Is it worth it? How far are people willing to go try and score the big money? What ever happened to earning it yourself?

I've started to notice that those who work minimum wage jobs, and consider taht their living, are always looking for easy ways out. They want the luxuries of just being alive, but they are too lazy to actually go out and get it. They expect money and everything else to land in their laps. I agree, GO GET A REAL JOB. Work for what you've got, and be proud of it.
