I think recognizing a person by hearing them once would be useful as:

  • spy
  • bouncer
  • detective
  • headhunter
  • diplomat

Also just for any kind of sales, honestly. I’m always surprised that regular customers at my bakery like being recognized, but they generally do. I was once in the Taco Bell drive through and the cashier asked me how I get my hair to grow so quickly (I grow it out until it’s long enough to donate, then chop it off and start anew), which implied a very long term recognition, so I stopped going to tb for a few months, because I hated the idea of being observed. I’m autistic and not especially social, though, so I can understand that I’m the outlier here.

I would be proud of being recognized at a local bakery, and similarly uncomfortable being recognized at a Taco Bell.
