Finger found in food at TGI Friday's

A diner in Bloomington, Indiana found a finger alongside his hamburger when he dined at a local TGI Friday's. A member of the kitchen staff had cut off a portion of his finger and, in the confusion that arose when people rushed to help the man, the finger ended up on a plate. It was only a small piece of finger, but the diner noticed it immediately. The police were called, but told the customer that it was not a criminal matter.

A company spokesperson acknowledged that this was a serious incident, both for the employee and the diner, and said TGI Friday's was "very, very sorry."
