The doorman at the Savoy recently retired, his position had made him something of a celebrity so the Beeb among others did an interview with him. Upon being asked about the grand and famous guests he had met and more importantly for the interview how many he had failed to recognize, he said that he had found that those who mattered did not mind, and those that minded did not matter. I like his take on people.
That sounds like the challenging job. He sounds like the sort who probably treated everyone as if they were someone famous.
His point was , I think, that he sometimes failed to recognize one, and when asked how they took that said, the ones that matter, don’t mind, the ones that mind, don’t matter.
