Hello fellas,

We're building a shop for a client of ours and we keep experiencing a perticular issue with regards to the current customer.

We have an extension method on the IPrincipal object which returns the current customer (ICustomerBase):

public static ICustomerBase GetCurrentCustomer(this IPrincipal principal)
    {
        var context = PluggableObjectHelper.GetInstance<CustomerContextBase>("CustomerContext", UmbracoContext.Current);
        return context.CurrentCustomer;
    }

All to often though, we get an AnonymousCustomer returned from this method call. I am not all that comfortable with Merchello yet but is there something obvious we are doing wrong here? Or is there a better way to retrieve the current customer?
