Let the punishment fit the crime

An Ohio woman who was convicted of assault for hurling a burrito bowl at a Chipotle worker was offered an unusual way to reduce her time in jail. 

A judge has ordered Rosemary Hayne, 39, must now work at a fast-food job for two months.

*****

I bet Rosemary's spending a lot of time scrubbing bathrooms and cleaning grease out of those hard to reach places.

  1. Consider the poor manager - they cannot in good conscience have her in a food prep role, or in a customer facing role. Nobody in their right mind would want what she would slap together, and to have to deal with what is in all likelihood a massive ball of cluster-B issues as a customer... I do not understand how an employer could be compelled to take her on, nor why they'd do so. Insane liability. Maybe make her work it off serving chow in a prison, or perhaps get her to see real misfortune by having her work in a soup kitchen for the Salvation Army...
    There is no excuse for this tantrum behavior that seems to have gripped America. Customers screaming at staff, spouses screaming at spouses in public... good Lord, America.

    1. I came here to say this, too. you can't make toxic people "work".
      or learn lessons. this will just be punishment for everyone else.

    2. This kind of insanity has ramped up exponentially since the clot shots, vaxx brain injury much. The usual jogger impulse control issue has spread to the general population. I've mainly noticed it on the roads since early '22. Even my used to be reasonable (liberal) in-laws have become "short fused", yup, they're vaxxed. When the vaxxsd start "noticing" their vaxxed friends and neighbors having "suddenly"issues, health issues, brain fog and hundreds of other health issues, they start getting worried and "testy". I feel sorry for the brai washed masses.
      In my little Podunk neck of the woulds the incidence of 911 heart related calls are WAY up. I talk to the para medics regularly at breakfast.
      So, what I'm getting at, is the vaxx is a behavior changer.

  3. For once at least, I see a judge with a very good set of principles. I never worked in a fast food joint, but I did work in my parent's restaurant, as well as working for 2 years my junior and senior years of high school for 22 hours a week at a gas station, pumping gas, back in 77 and 78. So I did work with the public. Not to mention playing music in bars for 3 plus years.
    Of course in those days, both in high school and playing music in the early 90's, people were not the same as they are today. I did get a few jerks at the gas station, but for the most part, the people in the bars were nicer than the people who were in the church that I was a deacon at for a few years in the mid 1980's.
    The people in the bars were just there to have fun, and since our band was both fun and pretty good, they treated us well. We had two pretty women singers, and the 4 males in the group kept a close eye on them, to make sure there was no problems. But we need not have bothered. The following we had would have stopped any nonsense towards the ladies in a heartbeat.
    Sadly things now are much different. Society has become much more of a me first thing, and I have to blame much of it on social media, with the anonymity that can go along with it. I post under a nom de plume, a nickname from high school football, after the Peanuts character plus my football number. But I started doing that early on to protect my wife and young kids living at home from the nutjobs that are out there. It just seems like a wise thing to do, when I post opinions that can often piss people off.
    I am always willing to have a free and open debate and will change my mind if given facts that show I am wrong. It is too bad that facts do not seem to matter to a rather large segment of the population today. Polls show that a sizable percentage of the people on both sides of the aisle would vote for Biden or Trump for president even if shown that they are completely criminals, mentally deficient, morally bankrupt, etc. It seems that ethics has no place in modern society today. That is what happened to the Roman Empire, and many other great societies. Unless the United States gets our act together, we will see our own grand experiment fail, due to our own moral failures. How we treat those who serve us is just the canary in the coal mine.

    1. ". . . That is what happened to the Roman Empire, and many other great societies. . ." Not to be a downer or anything, but that is what happened to ALL empires (we are/were an empire). They all follow an eerily similar path and timeline. The decline and collapse stage lasts decades or generations before the end.

      We're swirling the drain and the final plunge will be ugly.

      For further study, search for and read "The Fate of Empires and Search for Survival" by Sir John Glubb. It's twenty-nine pages long and is a free download at https://people.uncw.edu/kozloffm/glubb.pdf or several other places.

  4. It never pays to be rude or wise-ass to front line public-facing phone reps or counter people. They're the ones who have to deal with corporation's cost-cutting and bad policies.

    (Exception - if they're openly hostile. I've had a few of those.)
