			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A public outcry has developed over a supermarket cashier in Germany who was fired for stealing 1.30 euros ($1.65) of bottle deposit money. And just like Joe the Plumber in last year&#8217;s U.S. Presidential campaign, Barbara the Cashier is figuring into Germany&#8217;s upcoming elections. <span id="more-1446"></span></p>
<p>Barbara Emme worked 31 years for supermarket chain Kaisers in Berlin. She denies an accusation by her former employer that she kept bottle deposit receipts worth $1.65.</p>
<p>A court recently upheld the decision to fire her. Now, leaders of Germany&#8217;s major political parties are criticizing the decisions by Kaisers and the court.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t understand how a cashier can be fired because of 1.30 euros while managers who lose billions of euros can keep their jobs,&#8221; said Horst Seehofer, leader of the Christian Social Union party.</p>
<p>Barbara the Cashier says her phone has been ringing off the hook since news of her firing hit German media.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, she says she hasn&#8217;t received an offer of a new job.</p>
