if someone is talking to me while I'm trying to read something, I retain *nothing*.
i cannot multitask. my brain just can't do it. i used to work at a place that had ear radios on while on shift. if I was talking to a customer and someone said my name on the radio, I'd just flip the thing out of my ear and keep focusing on the customer.
got in trouble a lot for that one XD. sorry, boss. i can't split focus. you'll have to wait.

Same here. I also can't retain lists read to me, regardless of where my attention is.

yeah my last job exploded because my boss at jack in the box insisted i charge cars while taking orders over the headset i could only take orders if i was putting them into the kiosk as they came. if i tried to remember that shit while talking to someone else to charge them i would remember nothing and he got so fucking mad at me over it heard so many similar stories from so many others in similar positions tl;dr bosses in the fast food industry are ableist shitfucks and don’t deserve the air they waste
