But if I just hear it or read it I won't remember it 5 minutes later.
I suppose instead of saying hey Buddy, how are you? I could thell them that I don't remember their name, but that might make them feel unimportant and possibly insulted.
I'd rather they think I'm slimey than have them think they aren't worth my time. |
Instead of Sport or Ace or Buddy a former boss of mine would call people whose names he forgot "Easy Money" and shake their hand and ask how they are doing. He got away with that a lot.
