I felt so much like I had been identified at Denver Matress Co! I had shopped the same manager 3 times in a row, every three months! I refused to do the shop when the scheduler asked me again, and stalked the store, looking in the windows, to see if the same manager was still there.
Then, I got my hair cut and colored, so I figured I'd do it again recently. That manager who I had shopped had apparently been replaced, so it was all fine. MSC told me that IFI had been identified, the MSC would know, so I guess I hadn't, even though I felt as if I had. Also, even though I felt like I was identified, the manager did not do all of the things he was supposed to on the last one (maybe only 50% of them), so that wouldn't make sense either.
But I can tell you that doing that shop, and feeling like I was identified, gave me a lot of stress and made me really "mess up." I forgot a requirement, had to have the editor email me about some missed things....the shop still went through, thankfully, but that's why I decided to not do it again for so long, because the possibility of being identified threw me off so much
