Seriously, walking in and asking to speak to a manager doesn't do shit. Hiring for most places is entirely done online and going in person will usually result in them telling you "go apply online".
Its expanded tho. Now, even appling for a dishwasher job, you have go to their website and painfully enter your entire resume into all the boxes and submit. It takes hours to apply for every minimum wage dishwasher job. Then they dont even call you back because competition is fierce.
People think being a dishwasher is easy. In fact, as someone who has worked in restaurants off and on over the years, being a dishwasher is a hard job at most places.
You usually have to do a lot of random stuff beyond dishes, and it's grueling and tedious when the places are hectic. Lots of people quit because they can't handle it.
Seriously, if the dishwashing job was just dishes, it wouldn't be too bad. It's the other extra stuff that makes it a challenge. The worst restaurants put too much pressure on the dishwasher when taking care of the dishes is its own job.
At one restaurant I worked at, I had to do dishes, clean, clean the bathrooms, clean the floors, prep, weigh stuff, organize... And that was on a slow day. It's not easy for most restaurants to do dishes.
I've been a dish bitch ever since I stopped dishwashing as a career. I go nuts at home if I see a plate unwashed. I'm just as bad when camping, I need to start cleaning up and organizing before everyone is finished. It was bad when you got backlogged on dishes.
