This is actually very fitting
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
That honestly wouldn’t even be too hard to implement, just roll it out as a mandatory credit for HS graduation and done lmao
That would be a hail corporate law
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.
I’ve always said that if I were elected president, I would institute mandatory retail service instead of mandatory military service. Doesn’t matter if you’re a kid in high school or a ceo making seven figures, everybody has to do their time at some point. Either it would cause world peace or nuclear armageddon, and either one would probably be an improvement.
I’ve said this, except you have a choice:
You can do retail, hospitality, or health services (eg cleaning hospitals, very basic patient support, anything that requires minimal training and won’t do harm to any patient in their care).
I am a Service rep and my mum was a nurse, so we’ve both seen a lot of the worst of humanity. I think people need to extend more empathy to nurses and other medical staff - I understand for many patients, it’s a horrible, scary situation, but these people are (generally) there to help and have to deal with a lot of awful stuff every single day.
More patience and empathy in general would make for a much better society.
Damn right. I worked at a fish market for over a decade and there’s a reason that jobs like active duty military and bomb defusal rank below all three of those jobs you listed on the scale of most stressful jobs. People are assholes day in and day out to these kinds of people who literally keep our society running and keep us alive.
Any time I’ve been in the hospital, my motto has always been “If crying, screaming, and pissing myself will help, let me know and I’ll be the first to do so. But until then, it sounds like a whole lot of effort to make everybody’s day worse.”
I’d add tech support to that list. Cut my teeth there fresh out of school and it really taught me empathy towards service workers of all types. The crazy bullshit that people threw at me due to being stressed and irritated that their stuff isn’t working was very eye-opening.
Yep. Basically any position where you’re in some sort of service to the community.
It really gives you perspective.
Also PTSD.
I get my misanthropy outlook from having a horrible childhood and teenage years. I’d hope I would’ve been exempt when I was a teen.
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.
This is The Way.
I thought we had laws against cruel and unusual punishment.
It’s an opt-in arrangement.
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.
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.
And yet we allow Chipotle to treat its workers like that anyway.
I mean it is good that she is going to have to see what it is like to work fast food. But I feel so fucking sorry for her co workers. It is going to be hell working with this Karen. And she isn’t going to be there forever so she has no incentive not to be a jackass.
Oh, there’ll be plenty of incentive in a rider on that sentence if she doesn’t meet the standards the judge sets .
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.
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.
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.
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.
I think they should do it with a less decision maker position, like water bringer or towel handler.
ummm, restaurant owners/managers may be thanks but not thanks with her services
I’m thinking it’s going to be the fast food joint that throws food at customers.

I love the comment from Chipotle about justice being served.
Justice is a dish best served… with a side of chips and our famous guacamole, and a 20oz fountain drink!
Justice is extra, is that okay?
Sorry, we don’t have justice. Is vengeance okay?
Brought to you by Carl’s Jr. Fuck you!
The length of time is good, too. It takes you about a month to get competent, and another month to realize that no, it doesn’t matter how good you get. The job sucks regardless.
I hope they put her on register so she gets lots of face time with lovely customers like herself. No fair if she hides in back making guacamole all day!
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.
Gilligan told CNN he thought about the possible unusual sentence a couple of days before the November hearing.
“Every time you watch the video, it makes you more and more upset,” he said. “I was thinking, ‘What else can I do rather than just have her sit in jail.’”
I didn’t know judges could do this. This seems amazing and I love it.
Me neither, this should be a standard punishment for abusing food workers.

This is like a daytime sitcom.
She’s MY butler!

Fuck CNN
I have EasyList as well but recently added ConsentOMatic. That’s working without hiccups if you’d like to install it
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
Most of all, I feel bad for the fast food workers and patrons that have to deal with her during her two months.
Fuck, I hope she gets stuck on fry duty
I don’t think judges give a shit as to what the sentenced person thinks. they’d probably give you four months if you did that lol
make it 6.
Archive.is might help:
https://archive.is/aAI5sThat or it traps me in captcha hell and won’t let me see anything. WTF, man?
Maybe something to do with how your network is configured? I’ve noticed that archive.is gets stuck in a captcha loop when I’m on my office network, but not at home.
I only get stuck in the captcha loop on my phone not on any other device myself. I’m using Firefox with a few privacy plugins and assume it’s one of those not playing nice on mobile
It’s Cloudflare’s DNS. You’re probably using it on your phone.
Ahh yeah the PiHole I have configured to use cloudflare which I only use on the phone. Ty.
it hates adblockers ironically enough.
Thank God I’m not the only one, I have not been able to access archive.is in a long time. I get stuck in a loop on their captcha. Disabled AdGuard, disabled Ublock, nothing.
It’s because you’re using Cloudflare’s DNS. Same thing happens to me. Kinda comical that person linked this site in response to a complaint about CNN’s site being inaccessible.
I’ve heard there’s some kind of issue with archive.is and Cloudfare DNS, if you’re using that. Some kind of incompatibility on the archive.is end where they’re blocking requests.
I tried a scrolling screenshot but lemmy worry let me upload that
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.
