While I do believe the world would be better if everyone had to work a year at a minimum wage job.... I don't think the fast food workers should be subjected to her even more.
I’ve seen this story a lot and know it is true. However, the fact that this article is the daily mail, make me doubt it now. Please use a reputable source.
Imagine working a job so low paying and stressful it's comparable to jail time. And then you show up and get told they're cutting your hours because they got prison labor that can do it cheaper.
Alternative punishments have always been on the table in the U.S. It was (sadly) extremely popular during the Vietnam war to allow criminals to choose to serve in the military in exchange for avoiding jail time.
I feel like alternative punishments are often the better option. Jailtime for minor crimes means debt and rarely change after jailtime. Alternative punishments are a great way to change that, so long as the alternative isn't ridiculous like "military enlistment"
Someone said i DARE you, and she yelled "that's not what it fucking means!!!" And threw the bowl. Then she realized that was her weed and had to throw the burrito too
that was my first thought, and if she does get hired I pity whoever gets stuck working with her. Sentencing her to work in fast food feels good, but IMO it would be better for everyone if they sent her to therapy instead.
I don't want her to last any amount of time. I want her to understand the absolute hell that fast food work puts a person through so that she'll learn a valuable life lesson and not treat people shitty when they're only trying to do their job.
Pretty sure it will only take a week or 2 for her discover it's hell. Not sure if she'll ever get the other part though. I hope she does. I imagine her having lunch with her friends later, saying "did you know the drones behind the counter are actually people???". Sigh, one can dream.
2 months. 20 hours a week. The poor 17 year old she hurled her food at was working 65 hours a week. The worst part? The absolute worst part? When the judge asked her for words prior to sentencing, she said "If I showed you how my food looked and how my food looked a week later from that same restaurant, it's disgusting looking" ... she still doesn't get it. She still thinks there is a level of quality of food that would justify a burrito bowl to the face
Imagine being told that the job you have to go to every single day, is a form punishment for other people, like your daily grind is equal to imprisonment.
Depending on the joint those are vastly different forms of time like five guys is different from McDonald’s, ihop is vastly different from Waffle House and so on
Honestly knowing that it's only two months (and only 20 hours a week) kinda gives her the opportunity to work her ass off and finish thinking she's just better than everyone else in the industry. Worst part of a lot of jobs is the endless grind.
This fall, get ready for a judge that makes you judge his judgement! Eliot Gould stars in "Unusual Restitution." Catch the series premiere this Monday after back-to-back episodes of ALF on NBC!
A (very) small number of judges engage in karmic punishment. At sentencing, they give the guilty party the option to either serve conventional jail time, or take the alternative that's tied to what they were convicted of. It does not run afoul with "cruel and unusual punishment" because the defendant is the one making the choice and not the judge. A common example of this is someone convicted of littering having to clean up garbage for X-number of hours instead of a fine/probation/jail time.
That guy was the one who made them stay in an open air tent prison, was a birther, didn't investigate sex crimes, made use of racial profiling, jailing people without a crime, and contempt of court. That is the fucker Arapaio.
oh no. As someone who has bartended for 18 years I'd be first in line to spit out my order in 3 seconds and tear into her the second she messes up. it would be a line up of people out the door and around the block, all looking to make her cry. it would be the most profitable chipotle ever.

She gets a job for comitting a crime?

I feel like she needs to wear a shame sign of sorts so people know to be extra nasty to her...

Imagine assaulting someone and getting a job out of it… I get it, but also… ugh

I use Google News, just aggregates a bunch of articles.
Mr5anch3z
Wasn’t ordered to- was offered as part of a sentence reduction. Imagine the daily mail not getting their facts straight…mind blowing!
Affray
So her punishment for assault is to do what her victim does every day for work.

Odincdaj522004
I'd rather take the jail time
DrZoidberg42
This should not be at the store where it happened. The victim should not be forced to work with her
bangbangbangbangbangbangbangban
Victim now works for raising canes or a similar restaraunt
TheMouseOfMadness
So, we get to know the location right? Form an orderly line, scream at her over every minor thing for a while. Break her of the habit.
boobookittyfuc
6 months at least

Astute observation, booboookittyfuck.

That should be fun for the regular employees

Please tell me the worker got some money too.
rmmmm
I’m confused: is it the same person on the right and on the smaller picture at the center?
metroid2
I saw a short snippet of the video. The one in the middle seems like the worker. There was pink hair in the vid.
rmmmm
Oooh ok! Of course,it makes sense!

People still use word “joint”?

Is it just me or has this story been plastered 18472920 places the last few days?

THIS IS JUST PUNISHING HER COWORKERS!!!

She probably doesn't have to work at the exact same store.

Does the store she works at have other workers or not?

Make it overnight at Waffle House...
treed240z
Doesn't having to work in the food service industry fall under the "cruel and unusual punishment" in the 8th amendment?
sayosen
Its not like he sentenced her to Waffle House!
EverNotRelevant
I'd call it cruel and unusual for her coworkers.
Ughffs
They pay some of them a dollar a day to maybe die fighting wild fires, if that doesn't count, flipping a burger doesn't either.
reineseele
I wouldn't want her to do my food. She probably
YeroctheBarbarian
If it’s so cruel and unusual why do I have to do it 5 days a week to justify my existence under capitalism?
ballisticks
You get two days off a week? When I worked retail I'd often get 9-10 day stretches flanked by a day off
YeroctheBarbarian
I’m also union. 🤣
Raventhief
Ah, because it's not punishment. When it's punishment, it's illegal. When it's simple life, you're fucked.
treed240z
Because you and everyone else hasn't started a violent uprising against the super ultra mega wealthy yet.
StellaMatutina
Because this nation was founded upon slavery, and they made you believe that it ended with the civil war
barnwolf
Actually it's just the opposite. Food service industry workers are skilled and hard working, she doesn't qualify to work there.
SuperfluousMeh
Amen! I was, and most of the people I worked with were too. Food Service workers work damn fucking hard.
YeroctheBarbarian
Can you send some of them to my work because most of my coworkers are useless af.
SuperfluousMeh
I ain't giving up my gold, just call me smaug!
Ranb40
She seems like an extreme liability. Who is stupid enough to hire her? Will she go to jail if unable to be hired by anyone in the fast food industry?
CeoHuntingSeason
Probably someone who is attracted to the fact the he doesn't have to pay her, not the big franchises, but local fast food joints.
HoneyBunchesOfStoats
that was my first thought, and if she does get hired I pity whoever gets stuck working with her. Sentencing her to work in fast food feels good, but IMO it would be better for everyone if they sent her to therapy instead.
anunexpectedturnip
I dunno, after working a few months in restaurants, I started treating my waitstaff like kings and queens as much as possible.
SarahTheEverlame
Only two months?
Frenchgeek
You think she'll last two weeks? Two months is plenty.

I don't want her to last any amount of time. I want her to understand the absolute hell that fast food work puts a person through so that she'll learn a valuable life lesson and not treat people shitty when they're only trying to do their job.

It’s a reduced sentence. Was 180 days of jail. 60 days were knocked off for 60 days of working in the fast food industry
SarahTheEverlame
I'm just suggesting that two months won't be enough to learn any sort of lesson. It's unfortunate.

SubiBryant
This is the plot of some wacky 90s sitcom where the judge hands out unusual sentences.
VonSnootingham
There's was a judge outside Cleveland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Cicconetti who famously made judgements like this.
ShibesKeanu
With wacky catchphrases like “You just got Burrit’owned!™ “ *slams gavel*
CaptainScarfish
I honestly like it. This has a much higher chance of helping her learn empathy than a stint in jail would.
sambaah05
Judge should have made her serve as the fast food workers butler.

He really could have been something big. Well bigger, he was crushing it in the 80s early 90s.

It was called Jerry. A guy got in a car accident and the guy whose fault it was was sentenced to be his butler. The series was not picked up.

Remember kids, it’s only banned if it’s cruel AND unusual, not cruel OR unusual. I would argue this is the perfect sentence.

Or that one judge in Arizona where he made them wear pink and other much worse things. But your idea is better.

It was the prison warden
