A woman from Ohio named Rosemary Hayne was found guilty of assault for throwing a burrito bowl at a Chipotle worker. The incident was caught on video and went viral. In court, the judge decided to give her a unique punishment. Instead of going to jail for 180 days, with 90 days suspended, she was given the option to work at a fast-food job for two months to reduce her time in jail.

The judge, Timothy Gilligan, was not happy with Hayne's behavior. He told her that throwing a burrito bowl because it wasn't made the way she wanted was not acceptable. He offered her a chance to work at least 20 hours per week at a fast-food restaurant for two months. If she agreed, she would have 60 days taken off her jail time. Hayne accepted the offer.

The incident happened on September 5 and was recorded by someone who posted the video on Reddit. In court, Hayne apologized and said that the food she got from the restaurant was not good. But the judge didn't buy it and told her that she wouldn't be happy with the food she would get in jail. The Chipotle worker, Emily Russell, testified that she was traumatized by the incident and had quit her job. A GoFundMe campaign has been started to support her.
