The face of scrooge as a dead person is covered by a sheet. Everyone refers to the old misery man and it suggests that Dickens wanted the reader to also assume it could be Scrooge on that fateful Christmas morning. In addition when visiting the Beetling shop and the Corn Exchange the are many clues that Scrooge picks up on but is so fearful of being right that he continually asks for the ghost to tell him "who the poor retch is".

Why isn't scrooge surprised when he fails to see himself in the places he visits frequently?

He does see himself. For instance at the school where he was a boarder, in Feziwigs place of work, and with Belle. He notes in stave 4 that when he arrives at the Corn Exchange with the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come he is not sitting in his usual seat, someone else is. He is surprised at that and comments. He then hears other businessmen talk about "someone" suddenly dying the night previous. This of course makes Scrooge suspect that it might just b him. In addition the places where he would have been were visited with all the ghosts when he would NOT have been there for him to see what life was like around him that he wasn't seeing
