An Ohio woman who was convicted of assault for hurling a burrito bowl at a Chipotle worker was offered an unusual way to reduce her time in jail.
A judge has ordered Rosemary Hayne, 39, must now work at a fast-food job for two months.
Hayne was captured in a viral video screaming at a Chipotle employee before throwing her food in the worker’s face.
At first, she was slated to pay a fine and serve 180 days in jail, with 90 days suspended.
But then, the judge had another idea.
“You didn’t get your burrito bowl the way you like it, and this is how you respond?” Judge Timothy Gilligan told Hayne at her sentencing in Parma, Ohio.
“This is not ‘Real Housewives of Parma.’ This behaviour is not acceptable,” he said, according to local Fox affiliate WJW.
Mr Gilligan told Hayne she could cut off 60 days in jail if she agreed to work at least 20 hours per week at a fast-food restaurant for two months.
Hayne accepted.
The incident on 5 September was captured by a bystander, who posted the video to Reddit, where it went viral.
In court, Hayne apologised and tried to explain the rationale behind her screaming at the Chipotle worker, 26-year-old Emily Russell.
“If I showed you how my food looked and how my food looked a week later from that same restaurant, it’s disgusting looking,” Hayne said, according to WJW.
“I bet you won’t be happy with the food you are going to get in the jail,” Mr Gilligan quipped.
Emily Russell told the court she had been traumatised by the incident and had quit her job at Chipotle since.
She told the Washington Post she was stepping in to protect a 17-year-old employee who was getting yelled at by Hayne. The food was hot and burned her face, she said.
“I was so embarrassed and in shock,” she told the outlet. “I couldn’t believe my customers had to witness that.”
A GoFundMe campaign had raised $7,200 (£5,700) for Ms Russell as of Tuesday morning.
