If you're wondering how this can be - the boss's name is Django and he's a cat. He sees himself as a star and feels validated by the customers. "In 2019, a lot of people were there because of the hangover," says deputy store manager Sylvi Biller. "He knew he was the star and posted especially for the customers."

But it is not only since 2019 that the pretty cat has found a home in the Starnberg DIY store. He has been going in and out of it every day since 2017. Django does have an owner, but when she got another pet, he decided to make the hardware store his new residence, according to Biller.
