Photographic Memory

So lately I have gotten into the habit of only carrying around my car key.  Just the one key.  No ring, no housekey, no keychain.  Just bare bones.  Mostly because I had this craptacular plain, loose metallic ring and everything kept sliding off of it so I got fed up and just took it all apart.  

So this new situation last week only became an issue for two reasons.  #1 - it's harder to fish out a single car key from your bag, than perhaps a jangly conglomerate of keys, rings etc... and #2, one of the few things that I used on my key ring was my gym tag.  It wasn't til I went to the gym some time last week that I realized that my little key tag with my membership number on it was not on my person.  

I walk in and explain that I left my tag at home, and the gym employee asks if I remember my five digit number.  

All of a sudden, I see it in my head, clear as day.... an image just popped into my head of a little white tag and it has the numbers 41184 on it in purple marker (it's kind of a ghetto gym).  So I proudly give her the numbers  4-1-1-8-4, and she nods with approval... shocked, I verify "so it looks like me?" (referring to the photo that should pop up on the screen when you enter your membership number) and she says  "yep" and I go along my merry way feelin pretty good about myself.

Fast forward to Saturday.  I arrive at the gym.  This time with keys in hand, and as I go to show it to the front desk person, I notice that my membership number is indeed not 41184..... -_-   

So does member 41184 actually look like me?  Is she at least asian?  

Did the employee just care so little that she just let me through?  

I don't think I'm curious enough to ask, but so much for my week of thinking I had a photographic memory.
