  • Trading the American culture for a canadian one is like trading one hotdog, for another hotdog without relish.....
        • This bothers me. I think that everyone here would have to agree with me that losing a finger is a big deal. When your finger is ripped off by some grinding machine wouldn't you be like "Holy shit! My finger! That machine that's making the Wendy's chili meat ripped my fucking finger off!!" This is when the alarm should be raised that there is a finger in a compromising situation.

          How does it get past that point? Do you think that the company that's making the meat just thought it wouldn't get noticed? Or is it like one of those FDA rules that says you're allowed to have a certain amount of rat feces and insect parts in food, just as long as it stays below the designated levels?

            I think it's because if anyone loses a body part in the chili plant, they're forced to stand in the corner and be ridiculed by the rest of the workers, who are more agile and dextrous than their clumsy coworker.

            I think it's shame on the part of the chili plant employee who lost his/her finger that allowed this detached digit to wiggle past quality control...Not the supposed lax standards of some megaconglomerate food service corporation. Why, who would ever suspect the third largest fast food company in the world to succeed by ignoring the injuries of its thousands of employees?!?!

            "The Jungle" happened decades ago! Now is the time of the kinder, gentler corporations! Just ask Dubya!

            • Do they have one of those signs in the plant that says:

              "128 Days Without (Reported) Injury"
              • I know it's yer ferst day and all, but...uh, if you tell'em you done losted a finger, you's gone be fired.
                • Nice use of the stereotypical slave slang. I dont remember them saying what COLOR the finger was.

                  I put hamsters in my butt.

                    See, now I read that as your typical slack-jawed yokel. Steve, you should have more easily recognized the local speech of your own kind.

                    Okay, what did that have to do with Slaves? I was thinking stereotypical trailer trash.
                    My neighbor speaks that way, and he's white, as a matter of fact, the only time I hear anyone speak that way, is when they are some lowlife hick on Cops, or that redneck on the Simpsons.......
                    Why do people who claim to not be racist are always bringing up race?
                    • Hell yeah I am fucking racist. Someday my race, the Bavarian Race, will purge this planet of its tainted spawn, so that the Bavarians may once again feel free to walk the planet without pants. Fleur Tile! Fleur Tile!
