Staples stole Bernie's personality

I swear, someone has to have been following around Bernie as inspiration for the latest Staples commercial while he hits every grocery store in town, the post office, Aubuchon Hardware, Costco, or Cowl's. For instance, a play by play of his latest trip to the post office:

Bernie: "Oh, I thought it would be busy in here!"

Post Office Lady: That's because everyone thinks we close at 12:00pm on Saturdays."

Bernie: "OH BOY, I THINK I'M GOING TO GO BACK OUTSIDE AND COME BACK IN!"
