Katherine Albrecht went to germany and said "The German customers are the guinea pigs for the whole world," surprising the audience at the FoeBuD event in the Bunker Ulmenwall in Bielefeld, Germany, on Sunday, Jan. 1 2004.
The article at Foebud.org goes on to say "When Katherine Albrecht came to Germany on the invitation of FoeBuD and visited the Metro Future Store (which is in fact a supermarket that belongs to Metro's branch "Extra") on the day before her lecture she saw a totally different picture: "The German customers don't even know what is really happening there in the Future Store," is her résumé. "The signation of RFID tags in the Future store is not adequate - and there is never a word lost about the risk towards custmers' privacy."
