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.

most fast food places are desperate for staff right now. if they get a guaranteed 60 days out of a hire I bet they say yes.

They would say yes to a huge liability?

Judge Timothy Gilligan gave her the choice of a 90-day jail sentence or a 30-day sentence on top of 60 days working in a fast food job.
After watching the video of her assault, I think she got it too easy.
If Judge Gilligan believes that the trauma of being assaulted at work by a customer lasts only 90 days, perhaps she should try working in a fast food job, too.

Its at least good that the victim is pleased with the judge’s response (per her quote in the article).

I think the idea here is to force them to develop some sort of empathy for what people who work in fast food have to deal with on a day to day basis and learn from it as well as some punishment, hence the 30 day jail sentence and 60 days working in the job (or just 90 days in jail).
I’m personally in favour of this. A jail sentence is purely punishment, whereas this feels like a combination of punishment and rehabilitation which is rare but tends to provide better outcomes (this tends to be contentious so I won’t provide links, but please do look it up if you get the chance).

Something something cruel and unusual punishment

The hand out window in drive thru, the one where you give the customer their food is the most stressful position to work because whoever is in that window has to deal with all the bullshit pretty much. 2 months of working only that position would be pure torture.

I’d like to see more of this for some of these Karens.

Right?!
If anyone reading this lives near there, you should find out where she works, go there to eat, and just be the worst.

Yeah I have a big order (constantly asks for clarifications over the phone while ordering for a small army)
