A woman who threw a hot burrito bowl in a Chipotle worker’s face because she didn’t like the way it was prepared may soon learn what it’s like to be on the other side of the counter.
An Ohio judge sentenced 39-year-old Rosemary Hayne to three months in jail for assault, but offered to shorten her sentence by 60 days — if she agreed to work at a fast food restaurant.
Emily Russell, the victim of the burrito bowl attack, says she’s “truly happy with the outcome.”
“I honestly thought she was going to get a slap on the wrist and nothing of it,” Russell told As It Happens host Nil Köksal. “Having her have to walk in my shoes, and go to jail, I think it’s a perfect outcome.”
Does she have access to steal money? What if she works hard and gets promoted?
The justice system will have actually succeeded in rehabilitating someone.
The likelyhood that woman will find anyone to hire her is slim as the first thing many employers do is google your name.
And if you’d worked in the industry at all you’d know people rarely get hired to handle cash as an entry position. She’d probably be in the back doing prep/clean-up.
