TIL you can ask your boss to write down feedback instead of telling it to you on the spot

I started my first retail job about 3 months ago and I kept messing up little things because my manager would rattle off corrections while I was in the middle of stocking shelves. I couldn't remember half of what he said by the time I got to the break room. Last week I got brave and asked if he could just write it on a sticky note instead. He laughed but actually started doing it, and now I don't forget stuff nearly as much. Has anyone else tried something like this with their boss?

Yeah my old manager would just yell things across the store so I basically learned nothing for months.

Not gonna lie that sounds like a basic retail job thing and not worth stressing over.
