Does this work ?

[–] ImTryingLemmy@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 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 29 points 11 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 11 points 11 months ago

Fuck, I hope she gets stuck on fry duty

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 113 points 11 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 79 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

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 98 points 11 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 11 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 30 points 11 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 11 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 12 points 11 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 43 points 11 months ago (4 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.

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 62 points 11 months ago (1 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.

[–] IanSomnia@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Ah that sucks. I guess I should have seen that coming. Some people just won't learn =/ I wish there was a better way to prevent these parents from ruining the game for everyone.

[–] schmidtster@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

Kick them out, and if it becomes an issue unfortunately the kid may need to go to so everyone else’s experience isn’t diminished.

Hopefully the parent learns after spending money on a few.

Everyone should be forced to work a service industry job for at least six months when they're teenagers. It helps you develop a healthy misanthropy

[–] PaperTowel@lemm.ee 32 points 11 months ago

Absolutely my first job was fast food, and I had no clue the level of entitlement of some people. Some people treat fast food employees like they're not even people.

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 17 points 11 months ago

That sounds like a way for service industries to exploit their workforce even more; if people have to work them, then competition for those jobs would rise, especially during non school hours. Plus, if school is any indication, kids would put it basically no effort if they have to work there and cant just be fired (and if they can, what happens if they are and therefore cannot complete the six months?). I dont think itd really reduce the entitlement either, itd just become "Ive done my service work so I'm entitled to act however I want, kid!" from those kinds of customers anyway.

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 42 points 11 months ago (1 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 15 points 11 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.

[–] voidMainVoid@lemmy.world 36 points 11 months ago (4 children)

I thought we had laws against cruel and unusual punishment.

[–] slurpeesoforion@startrek.website 14 points 11 months ago

It's an opt-in arrangement.

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.
