A Berlin robber armed only with a barbeque fork attempted to hold up a supermarket on Thursday night.
He was initially succesful in the robbery of a discount supermarket with the cashier handing over cash, police said.
But he was thwarted in his getaway when a fellow employee pushed him into a supermarket trolley and he dropped his loot.
Police said he fled the scene.
In January a man armed with a barbeque fork stabbed his housemate at a train station in the southern German town of Amerang.
Barbequeing, known as grillen, is a popular pastime in Germany. It seems robbing supermarkets in Berlin is too.
In February two Berlin supermarkets and two Berlin convenience stores were robbed within hours of each other, though they used the time-honored method of guns and knives for intimadation.
