Many, many fast food restaurants are super short staffed because no one wants to do the job at the current market rate. If she actually tried she could find one in a day.

Also, fast food margins really aren't that tight.

As long as this is only for this one case I'm ok with it, but I really don't want to see this become a trend to force people to work for these companies who are unwilling to pay willing workers a sufficient wage.

It was an optional punishment that she chose over doing 90 days in jail. I don't fear it becoming a trend since most people don't assault fast food workers in the first place.

Yeah, but even as an optional punishment, and punishment for a crime shouldn't be made to benefit corporations.
