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.

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.

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.

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 mean, fuck it, give em the chance. 🤷

Then we have the justification to throw the book at them like they throw food at workers.

Everyone should have at least one bad service job once in their life.

Ive been thinking about jobs everyone should have at least for a week.

For sure, everyone should be a server.

So far, my list also includes a cashier, a janitor, a teacher for a rowdy class, a bus driver, and a old person caretaker.

I thought we had laws against cruel and unusual punishment.

One could make the argument that working fast food is less cruel than spending 3 months in Jail. If you claim that fast food is worse then she kind of deserves to make that realization herself.

And yet we allow Chipotle to treat its workers like that anyway.

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.

It’s an opt-in arrangement.
