“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?” Judge Timothy Gilligan asked Hayne at the hearing. She chose the former.
In speaking with CNN, Gilligan said that he has unfortunately seen other incidents of violence directed at fast-food employees. According to him, there was a case a few years ago in which a customer who didn’t get a cookie in a McDonald’s Happy Meal began punching a worker through the drive-thru window. That defendant got 90 days in jail.
