Yeah the cashier thing, I don’t think I recognise seeing the same person a few times but like the coffee shop down the road I recognise them there.
One funny encounter I had was a few years ago I had just started a new job and on the second day the boss had keys I needed the following day, we both happened to live near each other and he said to met him at a local shop’s carpark and exchange the keys, he beat me there so I had to look for him and realised I hadn’t memorise any of his features, so I’m there walking around the carpark just looking in cars for a person sitting in a car and saw a guy but he didn’t make any movement so thought it wasn’t him so kept walking then he gets out and calls out to me. I could tell he thought it was weird I had stared at him for a few seconds and then walked away…
I’m 5 too and I worked out it was different than most people what I was around 6yo when some kid in kindergarten asked me what my mum looked like and I said I didn’t know but all the other kids knew what their mum’s looked like.
40 odd years later and i still can’t picture my mother, wife, kids, friends or work colleagues in my head, I couldn’t give you a detailed description but I’ve trained myself to memorise features but it’s more like memorising how to spell a word than an image
In my pocket?
