Is it really him? Many a customer probably asked this question in a Netto branch in Munich. It was him: Peter Maffay, 75, was sitting there at the cash register – on the occasion of an eleven-week fundraiser for his foundation and its Tabaluga Houses, where disadvantaged and traumatized children find refuge. Customers could donate their deposit voucher or round up the price of their purchases at the checkout; the discounter puts money on it. The rock musician, who lives on Lake Starnberg, founded the foundation, which operates in Germany, Romania and Mallorca, in 2000. How long Maffay scanned yoghurt pots, pasta packs, cucumbers, etc. – and then, according to the dpa news agency, expressed his respect for this job – is not clear from the messages. But that he couldn’t keep up with the pace of the people who work here.
