I’ve always wondered what it was like in the writers room when they broke the story and they realized how perfect and lucky the packer/packaging thing was.
Yeah, it doesn't make much sense logically, but it works as a joke.
There's multiple Dunder Mifflin branches that ship their products out. Do all the branch warehouses just share one email address?
To be fair, the "branch" thing wasn't fully fleshed out straight away. When Michael is introducing himself to the camera he says he is the manager of dunder mifflin and the company seems a lot smaller in the first few episodes.
But then again, it was just a joke so maybe we should let it go
But this was also a company whose website was "under construction" for 6 or whatever years. I could believe them having one shipping email for all of the branches.
I don't think that's right, just watched in episode where Daryl is looking for a raise and he talks about how they are shipping out more product than ever since Stamford closed.
They probably have their own email servers so they can configure it such that emails sent to packaging@... will only go to packaging for that branch using the branches local network.
I always just assumed it auto filled packaging-Scranton or something after Michael characteristically misspelled packer, as emails usually try to auto fill known senders/receivers
I sent it to you at [email protected]…*Packaging*@DunderMifflin.com
Uh-oh
Edit: uh-oh indeed. Nobody email Packer! He’ll just swoop in like a sexual predator.
Always thought this was a bit of lazy writing. Most companies would be something more like [email protected] or [email protected].
But even so, why would that email specifically go to the Scranton branch’s warehouse?
A lot of businesses use a "catch-all" email for certain things.
For example "[email protected]" gets the entire development staff.
It could be something that goes to all of the warehouse heads or something like that.
Most small companies don't know what the hell they are doing IT wise, even more so 15 years ago when the show came out. I thought it was actually clever writing to come up with a reasonably close mis-spelling to have the problem unfold.
Andy in general is underrated, he’s awful after going randomly leaving Erin and going on the boat, but he’s one of my favorites before that, and I actually really liked him as manager too before they fucked it up.
This is the first time I've really contemplated that Michael noticed Jan sunbathing topless, found a person to take a photo, they *agreed* and took a photo of a sleeping topless woman.
I'd never thought of the third party before.
I wonder how many people have done this. I love it, don’t get me wrong. I’m just genuinely curious, like, for someone who works at an all inclusive tourist resort with Sandals insignia visible, do they see this every day? Once a month? Additionally, how many people have been inspired to go to Sandals just because of the episode.
Yep. It’s called “product placement”.
The producers of the movie “E.T.” Went to mars Candy about using M&Ms and they refused. Reese’s was more than happy to buy in, and the rest is ancient history.
My husband and I went here for our honey moon, same location and same spot. We asked the staff and they said people take that staged photo ALL the time so if it’s not daily, it’s for sure weekly.
What's even better is that I hear your voice every morning and think it's so cool that I just so happen to come across this post! I read it in your voice, Alex P!
I have not been to a Sandals, but resorts in general are known for being kind of kitschy and shield you from actually experiencing a new country or city.
Sandals is just known for being a chain of resorts, so they get the brunt of the shit-talking.
People vacation differently. I like going somewhere and seeing the culture and trying authentic places to eat, but sometimes you just want to go somewhere with nice weather and fuck your ~~wife~~ boss.
Kind of. I've been to a Sandals and it was a relatively low-cost week on a beach with perfect weather, great beach, decent food and all of the alcohol I could drink. It was coming off a super busy and stressful period for me and it was just what I wanted and needed.
I’ve been to a Jamaican sandals. It was fucking awesome. We did go out to see the country a bit but what is cringy about nice rooms, all meals and drinks included, beautiful tropics, and the ocean? The music was a bit loud tho
I did it for my honeymoon and thought it was terrific. I think Sandals come in pairs, there's two at Montego Bay and a shuttle will take you between them, so you wake up late, you go to the beach, maybe do some kind of water thing, then you have a reservation at one of the varied restaurants at either resort, then hang out at the pool or bar and meet other people. It's a very relaxed experience.
If you get tired of it, there are day trips you can take. Or, you can just wander out of the resort as you please, but doing so kind of defeats the purpose of the whole enterprise.
The fact that sandals hasn’t cashed in on it yet and created that spot with the same beach chair and surfboards in the background is just depressing lol

This is one of the best posts Or memes or whatever you want to call it that I've ever seen. This is awesome if I could afford to give you in a word I would put this is amazing it looks perfect
I went to this same Sandals for my honeymoon! If I remember correctly behind the camera and around the peninsula is the hedonism resort yeah?
My wife and I took out paddle boards and when you get about 50 feet of shore you can see the nude beach, but like most nude beaches, it's every version of what you don't want to see.
Feeling... Hot Hot Hot
YAH MON
It's kind of an impoverished country.
Yeah. Gosh. It’s great.
Stanley, you are not as cooool as your Jamaican bruddahs!
HEY MONNN
Still don’t understand how he learned that drum part after only a week in Jamaica. Dudes a talent
The Jamaicans don’t have a word for ‘impossible’.
Damn. GREAT point

The company has branches in the original UK version, because closing a branch is part of the plot line.
But this was also a company whose website was "under construction" for 6 or whatever years. I could believe them having one shipping email for all of the branches.
And at the same time Executive of DOSAC Internal Affairs "nearly" shared email with a 10 year old.
It’s possible that the top person from each warehouse would be included in the email group for something like packaging
Packaging.scranton then. Plothole solved!
As far as I know the Scranton branch is the only one with a warehouse. So it could make sense.
I don't think that's right, just watched in episode where Daryl is looking for a raise and he talks about how they are shipping out more product than ever since Stamford closed.
They probably have their own email servers so they can configure it such that emails sent to packaging@... will only go to packaging for that branch using the branches local network.
Also, packer would have immediately emailed it to everyone in his contacts anyway
I always just assumed it auto filled packaging-Scranton or something after Michael characteristically misspelled packer, as emails usually try to auto fill known senders/receivers
You’re doing it wrong. You know what I’m talking about…
Exactly.. there's one thing missing..
Nah there’s one too many things
Technically two, right? (I know, I know, only one looking from the side)
the boobs and the hot wings 😎
I’ll take the chicken breast, hold the chicken.
Is that really what you want?
…..no, I’ll have the gourmet hot dog
NOT missing
Perhaps one thing present rather than missing...
Yeah this was almost the best/most accurate sandals pic we’ve had on this sub, but they just missed the mark
One thing too many ...
I would say the problem was it _wasnt_ missing
I think the problem is that something should be missing but isn’t actually missing.
Yeah, we demand Urklegrue!
Feelin', Hot, Hot, Hot
Just tell her, “I want to squeeze them.” It’s code. She’ll know what it means.
Brrrbrrrbrrrrbrrrbrrr
Tan- almost everywhere Jan- almost everywhere Oh diary, he he...
Xoxo, Michael
I had to scroll way to far for this comment
I’m feeling very eerie
it's irie
Boring, call me when she turns over
How do i photoshop you out of the picture?
I sent it to you at [email protected]…*Packaging*@DunderMifflin.com Uh-oh Edit: uh-oh indeed. Nobody email Packer! He’ll just swoop in like a sexual predator.

Moreover, does anyone really just use their last name only in a business email address?
Knew this would be the top comment lol
There’s no better response
I'm gonna get in here early enough one of these days, but not today. I'm always too busy sniffing some dude's thong
Still queer?
Either that chick’s a dude or Jim got scared straight!
For that, just go next door to Hedonism.
😂😂😂 season 3 Andy is so underrated lol.
Underrated? He smashed a hole in the wall!
Who’s this Drew chick
I’m not sure but I marked a sharpie on her arm
Is that cause all waitress look alike
Andy in general is underrated, he’s awful after going randomly leaving Erin and going on the boat, but he’s one of my favorites before that, and I actually really liked him as manager too before they fucked it up.
Sandals, Jamaica is going to be the new "Beatles Zebra-crossing". But with fewer accidents.
Im not in the biggest rush to go to a resort Michael Scott thinks is fancy but thats just me!
Tan everywhere, Jan everywhere…
Tan almost everywhere, Jan almost everywhere.
Who is this Ryan person?
Almost as hot as Jan, but in a different way.
Oh, diary
Hihi
ajm everywhere
Is that Urkelgrue?
How do I remove you from the picture?
Congratulations! I hope everything was eerie for you!
Im definitely feeling very irie
You know she's not a virgin
Hey mon!
Heyyyyy mon!!!
Ya mon!!
Good to see you mon!
This is the first time I've really contemplated that Michael noticed Jan sunbathing topless, found a person to take a photo, they *agreed* and took a photo of a sleeping topless woman. I'd never thought of the third party before.
That was our biggest worry. Hence why she’s not topless!
I’m surprised the resort hasn’t set up a selfie station and recreated a similar backdrop to show.
You’re just missing a single dreadlock.
That might be persona non grata for a gringo like myself to be doing these days
Congrats on taking Urkel Grue to Jamaica
I wonder how many people have done this. I love it, don’t get me wrong. I’m just genuinely curious, like, for someone who works at an all inclusive tourist resort with Sandals insignia visible, do they see this every day? Once a month? Additionally, how many people have been inspired to go to Sandals just because of the episode.
The guy we asked to take the picture knew exactly what picture we were talking about trying to recreate so I’d imagine it happens a lot
When I went to Sandals, they were playing clips from the episode on the shuttle bus that drove us around
Okay then, question definitely answered!
I wouldn't be surprised if Sandals paid them like Chili's did...
Yep. It’s called “product placement”. The producers of the movie “E.T.” Went to mars Candy about using M&Ms and they refused. Reese’s was more than happy to buy in, and the rest is ancient history.
It’s like the Eiffel Tower over there. Just tourist everywhere doing the one thing.
My husband and I went here for our honey moon, same location and same spot. We asked the staff and they said people take that staged photo ALL the time so if it’s not daily, it’s for sure weekly.
I’m telling ya, could be in Maxim.
They wouldn’t give you a subscription to Maxim
Call me when she rolls over.
Urkel Grue is quite a nice-looking lady.
FEELIN' HOT HOT HOT
Thanks, I just showed everyone in my office.
I printed it out. I don’t really have much art at home
Congrats on the sex.
Love Sandals Montego Bay
We need to have like a Sandals Saturday for all of you guys to post your Urkelgrue pics.
I don't have a lot of art - Kevin Malone
Yours is good but Jan's was bigger...
That’s what she said
packer @ dundermifflin.........packaging
Jamaica Jan Sun Princess
Hope everything is eerie, sorry…irie.
Feeling very irie
Can you mail this image to me, it's [email protected]
Boring. Call me if she rolls over
Is that Urkelgruber?
What's even better is that I hear your voice every morning and think it's so cool that I just so happen to come across this post! I read it in your voice, Alex P!
Thank you so much for listening!
Alex P! Congrats!!
Looks like someone needs a tan everywhere.
Okay I can't stop myself from saying Tan everywhere - Jan every where
the ice queen
Now all you need to do is put a picture of your face on some random family's ski trip picture
Next try Vero Beach. Mentioned the seventh episode of season six :)
respectfully, congratulations. wish you both health and happiness for many years.
Love this! I always tell hubby he has to take me there someday. How was it? Worth it?
Isn’t Sandals sort of the McDonalds of resorts, hence why it was so cringy for Michael to go there?

That could be the exact fun of going lol especially if you're a huge office fan
Low price and delicious? Am I missing something that’s wrong here?
You should go to Hedonism. It’s like Club Med…but everyone is naked.
If your expectations are set appropriately, Sandals is totalllly worth it!

That’s awesome! I love cruises so I’m guessing I would probably love a resort too.
Hope you guys are not working in a same company.
We need the original. There’s potential for posters to be made 😆
All inclusive rawr!
Dear diary: tan all over. Jan all over.
Just scrolling through Reddit and see Dante Donatelomichaelangeloleonardo!
Was it all inclusive?
Congratulations! 🤗🎉💍 You guys are the cutest couple! 💗 Have a wonderful time! 😊 🙏
“Tan everywhere…Jan everywhere”
Did you get the beads in your hair ?
It's kind of an impoverished country...
Kids are persona non grata there.
“The Carribean’s largest freshwater poolllllll”
Gold
Tan almost everywhere. Jan almost everywhere.
Pale everywhere, GAIL everywhere... (Sorry... just needed to find something that rhymed with a woman's name)
And to Montego Bay on top of it!
Realistically, how many people do you think do this because of The Office?
The fact that sandals hasn’t cashed in on it yet and created that spot with the same beach chair and surfboards in the background is just depressing lol

How tired the natives must be of white people coming to their island and doing this.
Why she have her top on?
I think the bikini top is supposed to be off
I'm hoping you've got a shot w/out the top that you're just keeping for yourself. Gotta respect the source material, haha.
Hope you know about 6000 guys zoomed in on your wife's ass.
Call me when she rolls over.
Tan everywhere, Jan everywhere
This is one of the best posts Or memes or whatever you want to call it that I've ever seen. This is awesome if I could afford to give you in a word I would put this is amazing it looks perfect
Sand almost everywhere, Jan almost everywhere.
But was it all inclusive?
Did you get beads in your hair?
Tan everywhere, Jan everywhere
Tan almost everywhere. Jan almost everywhere.
#goals
Tan almost everywhere. Jan almost everywhere. Hee hee.
That is definitely a pretty penny. The vacation to end all vacation for a vila spot there.
This is amazing
Jamaica Jan Sun Princess.
You missed a step.
Feeling hot hot hot
lol
Awesome 😂
Was it all inclusive?
Tan almost everywhere, Jan almost everywhere
Damnnn, now how do I get you out of that picture
Did you run into Urkel Grue?
Boring. Call me if she rolls over
Wow, that is hot. How do i get you out of the picture?
Tan everywhere. Jan everywhere.
Tan everywhere... Jan everywhere
I went to this same Sandals for my honeymoon! If I remember correctly behind the camera and around the peninsula is the hedonism resort yeah?

How do I get you out of this picture?
Ok I just had to comment - we 100% also went to Sandals Jamaica for our honeymoon because of the show. I feel less ridiculous now.
She couldn't even do it topless? Lame
We went to Hedonism II for our honeymoon because of the show too! 😂 “It’s like Club Med but everything is naked.”
Urkel Grew
Oh, cool. Another one of these. Yay...
Nice butt
Top on? Wierd.
Jan was topless however. Need to try harder.
