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”
While it is funny, I don’t think that the punishment for her in this article will really amount to much. If she had the kind of empathy necessary to relate that experience with what she put others through, she wouldn’t have done it in the first place.
Whatever customers like herself that she comes across, I think it’s a 50/50 whether she spends her time doing nothing but exacerbating problems and causing regular scenes or siding with “her people” and breaking rules, stealing, etc. out of spite.
Agree with MrShankles it has to be under threat of breaking probation to even work. Ultimately, she needs more reform than just receiving identical abuse in turn.
Lots of people only experience empathy for other people when they are directly involved or confronted with those people.
Like all those stories of homophobes who reform after learning a loved one is gay. They need their nose shoved in it before they could even picture someone elses viewpoint, but if you do that then they do empathize.
It’s battery, and the fact that she thought it was a reasonable course of action means that she needs to be given a bit more than a slap on the wrist fine.
I know people might say anger management therapy would be better, but these types of people will never admit that they were in the wrong in the first place. They’ll twist things into a persecution complex.
Making her walk a mile in their shoes is an exceptionally good way to address this kind of behavior, and it’s an alternative to jail time.
But, it’s not like she would be given years in prison for it. It’s basically like a forced timeout. Hell, even 2 weeks in jail might be enough to change things.

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

It’ll be like dragon ball, but with more screaming.
Prison for throwing food? Shitty behavior yes but wtf. She’s got 4 kids too.
