Fuck CNN
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.
it hates adblockers ironically enough.
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
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.
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.
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.
I tried a scrolling screenshot but lemmy worry let me upload that
I really like this judge:
“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 the judge, but 20 hours a week wouldn’t teach anyone how hard it is to work in the service industry.
will have to work there 20 hours a week
Sure it would. 20 hours all over the place makes it really hard to schedule any other jobs or whatever (which they often do on purpose specifically to make it harder for you to find something else to reduce your availability), so it’s about as accurate as you can get knowing full well in 2 months you can return to your normal life…
The manager probably wouldn’t give her more anyways if she was a full time employee so they could avoid paying for benefits.
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.
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”
Don’t keep her from customers. Let the Karen deal with the Karens. Poetic justice.
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.
Let the Karen deal with the Karens
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.
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.
The article says she has yet to find the job.
Good luck finding someone to hire you for only two months as punishment for abuse. I’m sure they’re scrambling for predetermined extremely short term employment from a toxic pile.
Id guess working “fast food” in the commissary
Many, many fast food restaurants are super short staffed because no one wants to do the job at the current market rate. If she actually tried she could find one in a day.
Also, fast food margins really aren’t that tight.
On the one hand, I like this, but on the other hand it’s bad if judges are handing out other people’s every day life as a punishment
This is meant to be rehabilitation by teaching her empathy. Jail won’t change her but this might.
Ultimately jail is meant to be rehabilitation, I see how the punishment fits much better.
But then I’m bias cuz I’m not a fan of the criminal justice system and prison industrial complex in general.
Jail is punishment only. They are cages to make people disappear while middle class white people pray to NIMBY Jesus.
Yeah, that’s the dark reality. I love NIMBY Jesus, thank you I’m adding it to my vocabulary
lol thanks, made it up the other day!
His full name is actually “supply-side NIMBY capitalist Jesus”, just so you know
Jails in the US are for punishment at best and torture at worst.
Jails in the US are for profit.
Agree and they’re a cakewalk compared to Singapore.
Not suggesting this is ok, but that Singapore sucks lol
Don’t think of it that way. You’re not saying oh this is terrible so now you have to do this. You’re saying this is a demanding job and you ought to have respect for the people who do it. Give them a little insight into the hardships of the people they’re giving shit
Perhaps we don’t call it a punishment. We can call it rehabilitation.
Sounds like indentured servitude to me.
True, but our society is generally okay with this when people break the law.
It’s called community service and if the person would rather pay a fine or go to jail they are normally allowed to pick those options.
That’s where the “except as a punishment for crime” part of the 13th Amendment kicks in.
Some people’s everyday lives are punishment. That’s the world we’ve built.
On top of that, there are those who can’t/won’t learn empathy. The only way they can understand is by actually living through it themselves. I think sentences like this should be commonplace for anyone who commits a crime against a service worker.
If you’ve ever worked in a low paying customer service job for a prolonged amount of time, you know that IT IS a punishment.
I worked retail for 6 years. I know.
I sentence you to be surewhynotlem for a week. A punishment worse than death.
but then they rock as you and turn everything around in ways you never could.
I object. Isn’t there a rule about no cruel and unusual punishments?
This was my first thought as well. But on the other hand, I thinks it’s great if we can set aside our desire for punishment/retribution and just increase empathy. (Walk a mile in their shoes)
Maybe on their last day of service, the person they assaulted gets to throw a burrito bowl in their face. Then we get the best of both worlds.
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.
Her poor poor coworkers
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
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
This is The Way.
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
I thought we had laws against cruel and unusual punishment.
It’s an opt-in arrangement.
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!
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.
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.
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!
This is actually very fitting
Everyone should have at least one bad service job once in their life.
that’s brutal… serve quesadillas with a smile or go to jail… we need a film crew to follow this saga daily…
