Yes. It's happened in the past.

Yes. And this explains my work-clothes for the last 5 months.

2 employees at my Canada Post doesn't bother to ID me anymore. It is a little embarrassing I guess but I'm never going to stop!!!

I'm moving soon so I'll be picking up packages at another location. We'll see if it happens there too.

While I get alot of the one in this thread at the PO.
The other one I get, is being asking if I'd like the CanPost small business card. Only to get weird look when i say I don't have a business.

Oh that dosen't matter. I've had one for over a year now LOL. Yes, it is for small businesses but they'll give one to anybody. When asked my business name, I just put my name LOL. Its good because you get 10% off and a free bump up to expidited to the US, I believe.

And ya, my post outlet knows me by name and family...they ask me how the kids are and everything...and let me know when I haven't stopped in for a while.

When you get a box in the mail, you read the return address, you see the size of the box, you see the item content sticker and STILL you have no idea what it is.

Actually, depending on the price, Winners brand name shirts can actually be cheaper, or at least better bang for the buck. I got a few Perry Ellis shirts for $19 and $25. They definitely get old stock from The Bay.

Plus, some George shirts aren't 100% cotton, they're a blend of polyester/cotton, which drives up (or can double) the cost of dry cleaning.

Yep, all the ladies knew me at my old post office. Since I've moved I have to go to a new one now, so they're getting used to me. I still go to the other one to mail packages and they usually say "What did you sell now?"

Try a 3 piece suit. I have no sympathy.

If you are ever in the states, check out Van Heusen and Haggar. Their clothes are built to last, wash and wear and are dirt cheap at the outlets. Haggar's stuff is gear toward an older crowd, but you can get some good staples there like pants and shirts.

Nearly all of my work shirts are from Van Heusen. They are amazing.

This has happened too many times to count.

I don't know if this is funny or just sad... either way it has happened to me as well. Kind of like an extra Christmas!

All of the above, plus 3 things:

1) I get my packages shipped to me at work, so I become REAL good friends with the receptionist. She sends me e-mails like "Yet another one!~ And a big one too!~ :P" or "Wow, you got 4 packages today! A new record for the year!~"

2) The people who work at the post office tell me to give them my VentureOne Small Business card when I inadvertently forget to take it out.

3) I was once at the post office to mail a package, and it was around X'mas time, so the lineups were insane. When I finally got to the counter and chatting with the person serving me (who of course knows me), the post office girl working at the OTHER counter (with still customers to serve) sees me, and goes "Hey, I thought I saw your name on a package today. Did you get something? No? Lemme run it through the computer." while holding up her lineup.
