There's a scene from the comics where Supes is talking to this young guy who recently learned about the secret identity thing. The guy says "So, what, you can never take your glasses off in front of anyone?" Supes smiles at him and says "I take my glasses off all the time. You know what people say? 'Wow, you look just like Superman.'"
Basically, it's the Tony Hawks thing. People don't expect a guy as important as super man to just be some dude getting a coffee. It's more logical and more natural to assume that the guy who looks uncannily like Superman is just a guy who looks uncannily like Superman. That just makes more sense to people, so that's what they believe.
