After 10 years we are still getting mail for the PO's. We can't throw it out because a lot of it is credit card offers with the inn name under the PO's name. I'm not going to forward it. And returning it to sender has done nothing.
The first few years we diligently forwarded all of their Christmas mailings from guests. We contacted the PO's when packages arrived addressed to them. If the items were addressed solely to the inn we kept them. (Lovely gifts at the holidays!)
We've had people call to ask if the items arrived and we've explained they had but we had no way of knowing who 'Sandy & Bob' were and no return address on the box. Astonishment! The PO's left without telling us? You new people stole their gift? We'll never be back.
Sigh.
It's that time of year. Mostly business-related greetings, but still, get with the program! Why are you mailing greetings to someone you haven't heard from in 10 years!?
