What occupations have good short-term memory?

Ok, everyone keeps saying servers (ie waiters/waitresses). I know there was a study done awhile ago about the ability for experienced servers to remember your order exactly and then the second they give it to you it's gone from their brain forever. Does anyone know the name of this phenomenon? I've been searching for a bit now and can't find a single reference to it. I used to know the name and it's driving me crazy.

I also forget what it's called, but you hit the nail on the head. I'll try to search for the term used for it
