Rosemary Hayne, 39, was originally sentenced to six months in jail following the incident after it was captured on video by another customer.

Hayne admitted to police that she was the one who threw the food at 17-year-old Emily Russell after becoming angry about her order.

Now Hayne has been given an opportunity to reduce her sentence to only three months if she agrees to work at a fast food restaurant for at least 20 hours a week for the remainder of the six month sentence. 

A decision that Russell fully supports.

Russell told 3News that she thinks the judge's decision is fair and she wants Hayne to experience what working in fast food is really like.

Hayne has until March 12, 2024 to fulfill the conditions set by the judge.
