PARMA, Ohio (TCD) — A judge sentenced a 39-year-old woman to 90 days in jail for throwing her burrito bowl at a Chipotle employee because she was unhappy with her order — but the judge also threw in a caveat.
According to Cleveland.com, on Sept. 5, Parma Police Department officers responded to a local Chipotle after receiving reports about a dispute between a customer and an employee. The customer, Rosemary Hayne, ordered a burrito bowl and was upset with the quality. Parma Police Lt. Daniel Ciryak said Hayne made the employee, who also happened to be the manager, redo her order.
Hayne, however, remained unhappy. She reportedly left, then walked back in and told the manager to redo her burrito bowl a third time.
The manager refused, and Ciryak said Hayne “then threw her full-size bowl of food” at the victim’s face.
WJW-TV identified the victim as Emily Russell.
Parma Municipal Court records show Hayne pleaded guilty to one count of assault on Nov. 28. Prosecutors dropped the disorderly conduct charge.
WJW reports Judge Timothy Gilligan sentenced Hayne to 180 days in jail with 90 days suspended. He also offered her an extra 60 days of credit if she agreed to take a job in a fast-food restaurant for 20 hours a week for two months.
Hayne reportedly said at the hearing, “If I showed you how my food looked and how my food looked a week later from that same restaurant, it’s disgusting looking.”
Gilligan reprimanded Hayne and responded, “I bet you won’t be happy with the food you are going to get in the jail.”
He also told her, “You didn’t get your burrito bowl the way you like it and this is how you respond? This is not ‘Real Housewives of Parma.’ This behavior is not acceptable.”
