I have a terrible memory for faces! It doesn't matter whether it's been 5 minutes or 5 months since I last saw someone, I seriously will not remember what they look like the second after they leave my line of vision, if it's the first time we've interacted. I forsee this being a serious problem for me, because:
1. After I've made the rounds around the room a couple times, I can't remember who I've talked to and who I haven't......who has been sitting there a while, and who just got there, etc.
2. I work day shift, so I'm sure there's a much larger percentage of repeat customers, and I would feel super embarrassed if I kept going up to them shift after shift acting like I just met them, when I've already talked to them several times before.
3. I have at least one customer right now who has the potential to be a regular for me (I think), but if he were to stop back in again, I wouldn't remember what he looks like! That obviously is not going to make him feel special.
I can remember all kinds of personal details that these guys tell me about themselves, just not their faces!! Any tips on improving? How do you ladies do it?
