If so, does that mean people actually remember a persons name & face after only one encounter?!

If not, why do we pretend they will be upset, and try to hide the fact that we forget an unfamiliar name?

In my experience most conversion's don't require the use of a name, so it's not that noticeable if I forget a name.
