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”
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.
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.
As long as this is only for this one case I’m ok with it, but I really don’t want to see this become a trend to force people to work for these companies who are unwilling to pay willing workers a sufficient wage.
It was an optional punishment that she chose over doing 90 days in jail. I don’t fear it becoming a trend since most people don’t assault fast food workers in the first place.
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.

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.

Also, fast food margins really aren’t that tight.

Yeah, but even as an optional punishment, and punishment for a crime shouldn’t be made to benefit corporations.
The article says she has yet to find the job.

Id guess working “fast food” in the commissary
