I remember names and faces of people who were important to me … I can visualize various teachers and classmates from high school even though I am 65. But temporary jobs that weren’t central to me? Naahhh.
I worked at a McDonald’s for a few months during my senior year of college, because I’d gotten a car and needed money for gas and insurance. It was just a way to get needed cash, nothing more.
I could tell you a little bit about the personality traits and physical appearance of the manager, the co-worker who was trying to outperform everyone because he wanted to become a manager, and a patron who came in every morning and ordered 3 hash browns and a large Diet Coke. But I don’t recall their names or much about how they looked. (Unsurprisingly, the patron was very overweight and had a grayish cast to his skin. And I think usually a bit of stubble, and grayish hair. But show me a bunch of photos of men with those characteristics but otherwise very different looking, and I wouldn’t have a clue which one was him.)
While I have a poor memory for faces (I’m definitely afflicted with mild prosopagnosia), I don’t think my level of historical recollection is particularly an outlier.
