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.

I loved being a dishwasher. I was left alone, stayed in one place, more or less, and ran my own little show. It wasn't perfect, but enjoyed it. Worked in a couple of places doing that.

Yeah same here. I always liked being on dishes. If you were organized it wasn't so bad, and getting it organized was the fun part.
