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
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.
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.
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.

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
His full name is actually “supply-side NIMBY capitalist Jesus”, just so you know
