Does this work ?

[–] ImTryingLemmy@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (4 children)

Yes it did, thanks. I've seen people use 1ft.io also

edit: lol that lady is a bitch but I'd have told the judge to just sit me for the whole sentence. Eat shit dude, I'm not working fucking fast food. Of course, I don't treat anyone like shit no matter the occupation

[–] ericisshort@lemmy.world 28 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Most of all, I feel bad for the fast food workers and patrons that have to deal with her during her two months.

[–] ImTryingLemmy@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

Fuck, I hope she gets stuck on fry duty

I like the judge, but 20 hours a week wouldn't teach anyone how hard it is to work in the service industry.

will have to work there 20 hours a week

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 9 months ago

Sure it would. 20 hours all over the place makes it really hard to schedule any other jobs or whatever (which they often do on purpose specifically to make it harder for you to find something else to reduce your availability), so it’s about as accurate as you can get knowing full well in 2 months you can return to your normal life..

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 16 points 9 months ago

Seems like a typical shift for fast food workers. They don't want them to be full-time and eligible for any kind of benefits.

[–] EveningPancakes@lemm.ee 13 points 9 months ago

The manager probably wouldn't give her more anyways if she was a full time employee so they could avoid paying for benefits.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 127 points 9 months ago (4 children)

How will the logistics of this work? Are there fast-food restaurants that would accept a privileged Karen with anger management issues as a member of their team? After all, they have a business with tight margins to run, and this sounds like a huge liability.

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 118 points 9 months ago (5 children)

Free labor, and keep her away from customers. Cleaning, prepping, whatever. If she causes problems, she violates probation and serves the rest of time in prison. Give the store an incentive to deal with her. With thin margins, I'd take those odds. Fuck threatening to fire; if you fuck up, you go back to prison. "Now clean the damn fryer's like your freedom depended on it"

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 87 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Don't keep her from customers. Let the Karen deal with the Karens. Poetic justice.

Many, many fast food restaurants are super short staffed because no one wants to do the job at the current market rate. If she actually tried she could find one in a day.

Also, fast food margins really aren't that tight.

On the one hand, I like this, but on the other hand it’s bad if judges are handing out other people’s every day life as a punishment

[–] stolid_agnostic@lemmy.ml 107 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This is meant to be rehabilitation by teaching her empathy. Jail won’t change her but this might.

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Ultimately jail is meant to be rehabilitation, I see how the punishment fits much better.

But then I'm bias cuz I'm not a fan of the criminal justice system and prison industrial complex in general.

[–] stolid_agnostic@lemmy.ml 31 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Jail is punishment only. They are cages to make people disappear while middle class white people pray to NIMBY Jesus.

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, that's the dark reality. I love NIMBY Jesus, thank you I'm adding it to my vocabulary

Jails in the US are for punishment at best and torture at worst.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 11 points 9 months ago

Jails in the US are for profit.

Don't think of it that way. You're not saying oh this is terrible so now you have to do this. You're saying this is a demanding job and you ought to have respect for the people who do it. Give them a little insight into the hardships of the people they're giving shit

[–] JCreazy@midwest.social 46 points 9 months ago (5 children)

Perhaps we don't call it a punishment. We can call it rehabilitation.

If you've ever worked in a low paying customer service job for a prolonged amount of time, you know that IT IS a punishment.

I sentence you to be surewhynotlem for a week. A punishment worse than death.

This was my first thought as well. But on the other hand, I thinks it's great if we can set aside our desire for punishment/retribution and just increase empathy. (Walk a mile in their shoes)

Maybe on their last day of service, the person they assaulted gets to throw a burrito bowl in their face. Then we get the best of both worlds.

Some little leagues have a similar rule. If a parent verbally abuses an umpire enough that parent must umpire a certain number of games to see just how hard it is. Punishment fits the crime perfectly.

[–] schmidtster@lemmy.world 60 points 9 months ago (3 children)

My kids little league tried that, lasted a game before they realized that having a biased ref that doesn’t know the rules doesn’t make for a fun experience for the kids.

One of those sounds great in theory things, which is why it’s probably such a popular fallacy to spread.

Her attorney, Joseph O’Malley, said his client had no criminal record before the incident and that she is truly sorry for her actions that day.

“Let’s give her the opportunity to not let this one day define the rest of her life,” he told CNN.

Righhhht. No way she always treat fast food (and other services industry) employees that way, and this is just the first time it escalated to court.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 47 points 9 months ago (2 children)

She's likely a cunt, but why ruin people's futures when you can have teachable moments, this sentencing is brilliant and should have been a bit longer.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

And let's not forget she's also spending a month in jail before being released to work fast food.

What she did was horrible, but she's definitely not getting off free.

[–] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The amount of people I know who have worked, or currently work, retail and food service yet still treat workers like shit is an indication to me that some people just don't have a natural capacity for empathy and this sort of teaching moment will not work on them.

I thought we had laws against cruel and unusual punishment.

[–] slurpeesoforion@startrek.website 16 points 9 months ago

It's an opt-in arrangement.

[–] Vorticity@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

This is part of a plea bargain. She had a choice of three months in jail or one month in jail and two months working a fast food job. She had a choice between a "normal" three month sentence or this "unusual" sentence.

now that’s justice

edit:

Gilligan told CNN he’s not sure Hayne is as sorry as she claimed to be in court, pointing out that she was still complaining about the food during the hearing.

“She still has not picked up that this is not appropriate,” Gilligan told CNN Wednesday.

“You didn’t get your burrito bowl the way you like it, and this is how you respond?” he told Hayne during the hearing. He suggested she’s not going to be happy with the food she’s about to get in jail.

I like this judge.

I love the comment from Chipotle about justice being served.

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 27 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Justice is a dish best served... with a side of chips and our famous guacamole, and a 20oz fountain drink!

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Justice is extra, is that okay?
