The owner of an ice cream shop in Banqiao, New Taipei City, came forward to complain. A female customer ordered a 150-yuan peanut snowflake ice cream and secretly put insects in it. She then told the store that there were insects in it and it was disgusting, and she asked the boss to refund her money. But the more the operator thought about it afterwards, the more wrong he became. It was only when he checked the monitor screen that he discovered that he had been deceived. The lawyer also said that this behavior may have violated the crime of defrauding for profit.

Halfway through eating ice, the woman in white suddenly took out toilet paper from her bag, pinched something and put it into the bowl. She pressed it with a spoon. Then she took the whole bowl of ice and argued with the clerk. The owner of the ice shop said: "Because we will wonder if there is an oversight in the store, and then (find) that if the ice products are shaved off, the grinding will be uninterrupted, so there will be no insects entering at all. If even if there are insects entering, The insect couldn't be whole, so I got suspicious and went to check the monitor."

The incident occurred at around 3 pm on the 20th. At this ice shop in Banqiao, New Taipei City, which specializes in snowflake ice with various fruit flavors, the owner came forward to complain. At that time, the customer ordered a bowl of peanut snowflake ice for 150 yuan and put the worms in it himself. After that, she shouted loudly that there were bugs inside and it was disgusting. The boss said that she wanted a refund or another bowl of ice. The lady asked the store to refund the money without saying anything. Mr. Chen, the owner of the ice shop, said: "Because in the past 2 or 3 years, The epidemic is really making it difficult for everyone to do business. Don’t be greedy for petty advantages and want to eat this kind of overlord meal. If you don’t have money today, I can provide you with a bowl. It doesn’t matter, but don’t do this kind of behavior.”

Lawyer Li Yusheng said: "In this situation, the customer has actually violated the crime of fraud in Article 339 of the Criminal Law, which is punishable by up to five years in prison." The boss only hopes that the client can sincerely apologize. Criminal liability is really not worth the gain.
