I see it more like this...
Matt: "Hey Roland, we really need to build workstations ASAP. Can you focus on finding more workstation mags on your next scavenge run?"
Roland: "Matt, We are in dire need of water and food but I can see what I can do. I saw a neighborhood of houses to the east yesterday. Lots of those may have workstations I can check.
Matt: "While you are out could you check all the newsstands and see if there any skeletons around I could harvest?"
Roland: "Matt, I keep telling you there aren't any newsstands like you want or skeletons"
Matt: "Awwww, that is a shame. Well in that case while you are out could you check all the newsstands and see if there are any skeletons around I can harvest?"
Roland: "Sure Matt, sure. Will keep and eye out."
