      Work retail and you’ll see how little people read. There can be a sign in giant huge letters when walking in the door saying “Sale things aisle 7” and they’ll stop en employee right by the sign and ask where the sales things are

      In my previous job i had to do a lot of coordination via email. I learned very quickly you can only ask a single question per email because very very few people would ever answer more than that. God forbid there was some semi complex task that needs done.

        Ha! I just gave that advice to someone on Lemmy a couple weeks ago. They were having problems getting people do respond to stuff at work and I had to explain how the average person can’t track more than one subject in a single communication chain.
