Told her I’d wait while she added me to the standby list and got a “I can multi task.”

Okay. I step aside and wait a couple of mins, name still isn’t showing on the list. Ask her again and she said she still hasn’t put it in. I’ve had enough at this point and just wait. She never puts it on the list and the flight closes.

Was Alaska process violated here?
I would suggest to have called the gold line while you were waiting. They likely could have gotten you on the list just as easily. Could report the lackluster agent at the same time and multi task yourself...
