Earlier this month a German court rejected a food stall worker's demand that an angry customer pay her damages. The customer had thrown a half-eaten kebab at her.
The claim came from an argument in June at the woman's kebab outlet. The court said the customer unsuccessfully demanded his money back. Then he threw away the kebab.
The women wanted at least 250 euros (NT$12,000) from the customer. But the court said that the woman failed to prove her claim that the customer had called her a "stupid cow."
She also said that he threw the kebab at her, and that she only narrowly avoided being hit. However, the customer said that he had thrown it behind the counter, not at her.
The court said it didn't matter.
It ruled that the woman did not deserve any money. The court said being targeted with a kebab does not seriously violate human "honor."
The court said that its ruling is final and no appeal is possible.

上月初，德國法院駁回一個小吃攤女員工向一名憤怒的顧客求償的案件，這個顧客把吃了一半的烤肉串丟向她。
這起索賠事件肇因於去年六月發生在婦女工作的這家烤肉店的一場爭執；法院表示，這名顧客要求退費遭拒，於是就丟擲烤肉串。
女店員向這名顧客求償至少兩百五十歐元（新台幣一萬兩千元），但是法院表示，女店員無法舉證這名顧客當天曾罵她是「一頭蠢母牛」。
她還說這名顧客把烤肉串丟向她，她差點就被擊中。但是這名顧客表示，他是把肉串丟向櫃檯後方，而不是她。
法院認為那不會影響結果。
法院裁決這名女子不應獲得任何賠償，因為被丟烤肉串並不會嚴重妨害個人「名譽」。
法院表示本案已結案，不得再上訴。
