I already use different phone numbers (office phone on most forms) and never put my name, but like I said, this is a small town, and my entire life is documented at the grocery store. My only solution would be to get several cards for the same store!

Ebarnacle, my son is a pharmacist and makes more money in one year than I ever made in 4-5! But he did work for this company when he was a teenager and does not have kind thoughts toward the union. My kids are used to a mom who embarrasses them, like when I listen to Irish music or Oldtime Bluegrass or opera on the radio. Or when I would have to whistle to find them.

Once when I worked in a lab I took a paper grocery bag of tomatoes in that were garden-grown. I just set it in an open space for everyone to share, then had to leave. The guys later told me that they found a gocery receipt in the bag and tried to guess who it was from. There was ham so it wasn't the Jewish guy...there was cat food, so it wasn't the guy allergic to cats...there was kid's cereal, so it had to be someone with children...etc

RE: the pizza delivery --- When the kids were home we used to order pizza every Friday night. My 12-yr-old son would call it in. Once the mamager on the other end said, "Oh hi Mr. ____, the usual? We didn't hear from you last week...vacation? good time? Where did ya go?etc."

Seriously though, if you don't live in a small town, you probably don't understand gossip and your reputation and just how easy and harmful one piece of misinformation can be.
