Reply to comment by DistributedDemocracy in Parkland prosecutors ask for an investigation after a juror says she was threatened by ‘a fellow juror’ during deliberations - CNN by SilentR0b

Well in this case jury duty is mandatory service for less pay than you'd get at your job. You have to still prepare/buy your own lunch and sometimes it's ridiculously cumbersome to attend or far away. In my case I also had to pay for parking for all the days I was there putting me at a net negative. I don't think I've ever seen anyone jump for joy at jury duty.

I just went through selection today- they didn’t provide lunch because Covid. So they said you could bring lunch.

But another part of the summons said “no outside food or drink allowed.” Another potential juror and I got turned around at the security check when we tried to bring food.

But a bunch of others were let through with food & drink containers.

When I did it they kept us there until ~10pm and only provided a single medium pizza for all of us for dinner. (We weren't allowed to leave)
