In a bizarre act of frustration, a woman threw food at a Chipotle worker. But just wait until you hear the punishment the judge came up with for her!
The sentiment, ‘Never judge a person until you've walked a mile in their shoes,' has taken on a whole new meaning to 39-year-old mother of four Rosemary Hayne.
Customer Throws Food On Chipotle Worker
Rosemary lost her cool the day she ordered a burrito bowl at Chipotle. Instead of taking the poorly made burrito bowl in stride, she threw the steaming bowl of food in the face of a Chipotle employee. Rosemary was charged with a misdemeanor assault charge. Her case went before Judge Gilligan, who opted for wisdom mixed with a lesson of empathy instead of punishment.

Instead of a conventional jail term, Judge Gilligan presented Rosemary with a choice: either spend 90 days behind bars or opt for 30 days in jail coupled with 60 days of mandatory service as a fast food worker. The latter option would allow Rosemary to experience firsthand the challenges faced by the Chipotle worker she had wronged.
In a Seinfeld-esque turn of events, the judge asked Rosemary, “Do you want to walk in her shoes for two months and learn how people should treat people, or do you want to do your jail time?”
To everyone’s surprise, Rosemary replied, "I'd like to walk in her shoes."
Rosemary chose to don the uniform and work in a fast-food establishment instead of wasting 30 days of her life behind bars. Judge Gilligan, in a display of creativity within the bounds of the legal system, believes that the fast food experience will offer valuable lessons, both in humility and empathy.
A Lesson In Humility
Sometimes, the road to redemption takes unexpected turns, guided by a divine hand seeking to impart valuable life lessons through people like Judge Gilligan, where we are indeed taught to walk a mile in another person's shoes. May this be a reminder to treat fast food service workers with dignity and respect.
Judge Gilligan has shown that when it comes to delivering punishment, he’s no small fry. By making Rosemary Hayne trade her hot-headedness for a hot grill, he’s taken legal proceedings to a whole new level-a fast-food level, to be precise. This unconventional twist proves that in the court of culinary karma, sometimes you have to roll with the burrito bowls life serves you.

Let’s hope Rosemary learns to wrap up her temper, appreciates the true art of fast food, and, most importantly, discovers that throwing a tantrum is just as unappetizing as a poorly prepared burrito. In this case, justice isn’t just blind; it’s got a taste for irony and a side of guacamole. May this unique sentence be a lesson to all-when life hands you a poorly made burrito bowl, bless the hands that prepared it.
"Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom," James 3:13.
