An Ohio woman who made headlines after throwing her freshly made Chipotle burrito bowl in the face of an employee is set to learn a lesson in customer service. Rosemary Hayne, 39, was handed a unique punishment by Parma Municipal Court Judge Timothy P. Gilligan for her unruly behavior.

Originally facing a 180-day jail sentence, Judge Gilligan suspended 90 days of Hayne's sentence and presented her with an interesting option for the remaining time. Rather than serving jail time, Hayne was given the opportunity to work at a fast-food restaurant for 20 hours a week, reducing her sentence by 60 days.

During sentencing, Judge Gilligan admonished Hayne, saying, "You didn't get your burrito bowl the way you like it and this is how you respond? This behavior is not acceptable." Hayne agreed to the deal, leading the judge to delay her jail time until March 12, 2024, allowing her ample time to secure a job and complete the agreed-upon hours.

In court, Hayne offered an apology to the Chipotle employee, 17-year-old Emily Russell, and explained her actions by expressing dissatisfaction with the appearance of her burrito bowl. However, Judge Gilligan rebuffed Hayne's justification, remarking, "I bet you won't be happy with the food you are going to get in jail."

The incident, which took place at the Chipotle location in the Cleveland suburb of Parma, was captured on a cellphone video. The footage shows Hayne yelling at Russell, who handed Hayne her order, only for Hayne to hurl the food back at her before storming out of the store. A bystander attempted to intervene, leading to a confrontation outside the restaurant.

Following the incident, Emily Russell quit her job at Chipotle due to the traumatic experience. However, she expressed support for the judge's decision, stating, "She's going to get what she deserves. She's going to learn how to work in fast food, and hopefully, it will be good."

Judge Gilligan saw this sentence as an opportunity to impart a lesson in empathy to Hayne. He explained, "So I thought, why should the city taxpayers pay for her and feed her for 90 days in jail if I can teach her a sense of empathy." In addition to her fast-food work, Hayne was also ordered to serve two months of probation and maintain no contact with the victim.

This case serves as a reminder of the consequences of inappropriate behavior and the importance of treating others with respect in all circumstances. As Hayne prepares for her work in the fast-food industry, she may gain a new perspective on the challenges faced by those in customer service roles.
