Me: Hi, I need that sent FedEx to the Dover Mall
EB: I don't think FedEx ships to Dover.
Me: I'm sure they do - it's the state capital.
EB: State capitol? Of what state?
Me: Uh, Delaware.
EB: (indignant) And what state is Delaware in?
Bad enough from the general public, but scary from people at an encyclopedia company....
But enough with the Delaware stuff ---- good luck with recruitment, sounds like you're approaching it with a great attitude.

This is much like the
multiple American companies who try to send things to my aunt by international shipping because she lives in New Mexico.
